Answer 1

In order to know whether you have gential herpes or not, you should find out by letting your Gyn Doc examine you or by blood test or culture test.
I have GH for about 6 yrs now. First, i didn't know i had this and didn't even know about this virus existance. When i found out, i got scared but knowing that it's treatable, and i am not going to die from it making me relief. i am 36 weeks pregnant and having outbreak. 20 days ago, i had a outbreak and i was put on acyclovir. it was healed after 5 days but it again happened yesterday. i think i am having some stress due to the closeness of the due date to give birth. Stress, Fatigue, low immune system can trigger the herpes outbreaking. My husband doesn't seem to have it but not sure because he never get tested. I told my husband about it even before i was dating with him and he is okay with it. Yes, we are able to have intercourse. Becareful though. If you have pain and lesion and itching and tingling, burning, sensations, avoid having sex and having direct skin to skin contact. It can infect the skin where the condom can't reached to cover up. Wash hands after touching the lesion or sore. It can selfinfected by other areas of the body such as lip, eyes, buttocks. when there is no outbreak, lesion, sore, early warning symptoms (Mild Itching, tingling, burning), you can have sex. One thing, herpes can be active on the skin without having lesion or symptoms.The chances of infection in this case is unknown since you do not know whether the virus is presenting on the skin or not.
Yes, you can live in normal life. I am very depressed when having outbreak but once they are healed, i live normally again. i am married and will have a baby. if there is an outbreak or lesion, i can deliver my baby by c-section to be safe but not 100%. Vaginal delivery without lesion or outbreaking is recommended to many women with recurrent herpes.
You will not be in pain at all except the sores may be painful and itchy. Don't let it impact your life. it can be controled by Antiviral medications such as acyclovir, valtrax. They can reduce the frequency and duration outbreaks.
so,
1. do not have sex and sex activities such as rubbing, touching skin to skin contact when you are having outbreak, lesion, early warning symptoms
2. You can reduce the duration of outbreak and frequency of outbreak by taking antiviral medications and in addition, you can take some medication for pain(from the sores) along with it. Ask your Gyn Doctor.
3. you can live normally.
4. you can marry and have baby (discuss with your partner and let him know before marrying or dating)
5. c-section is available for pregnant women with lesion/outbreak at the time of delivery. (recurrent herpes)
6. Do not touch the sore and touch other parts of the body. It can be reinfected to the other parts of the body.
7. Don't let your immune system down. Stress, depression, lack of vitamins can trigger recurrent outbreaks. so, take vitamins, eat healthy food to maintain your health.

To keep it short

1. Get tested. If you don't have sores that can be cultured, insist on a blood test.

2. How it impacts your life depends on your attitude about it. This is virtually the same virus that gives the majority of our population cold sores on their lips. You are not alone, most people have herpes of some type somewhere on their body they just don't know it. All are capable of passing it on either from kissing or sex or oral sex. Most just don't know it. You can freak out or you can become educated about the virus and always, always, inform future partners before sex so that they can make an educated choice. Most mature people who bother to become educated on herpes will not reject you because of herpes.

3. Will you be in pain? Are you in pain now? Why do you think you might have genital herpes? Do you have oral herpes? It's a lot like that only in a different spot. The first outbreak is usually the worst, it improves over the years. And, most people who have herpes have symptoms so mild they don't even know they have it. With bad outbreaks it can hurt like crazy. There is no way we can know whether you will have bad outbreaks. Are you having a bad outbreak now?

There are medications that can be taken to reduce the severity of outbreaks, and suppression can reduce the risk of passing it on considerably.

Answer 5

For sure do some research, hon. But herpes --- genital herpes--- is, with one exception, just an inconvenience. It is a cold sore in your genital area, and/or peri-anal area. And from the hype you see on tv,OMG if you don't take our druuuuuggggg, go gunna die succa!!!!

Just remember something about drug companies: (and about everything else too) It is always about money. If drug companies spend tons of money to develop a drug, and they can't sell it, they don't do well in the stock market, and investors are pissed, their stock goes down, and they are outa business. If you wish to know more, write.

The one exception when genital herpes is really bad: When a pregnant woman is about to deliver, and has an outbreak. The virus attacks the newborn's neurological system with dire results. Other than that, hon, you just have a cold sore, and as I said, if you need more, write.

I got diagnosed with herpes virus (type 2) about three years ago, when I was still in college and had a stupid one-night stand. I understand lots of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/YqTCu everything changed.

Not only was I able to clear away all remnants of the herpes virus from my system in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This program provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience real love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.

My fiance also has genital herpes. I however do not. I am also pregnant with his child.
You can still have sex. Do not have sex while you have you have an outbreak.
Some people (like my fiance) have only ever had one outbreak, other people get many outbreaks throughout their life.
an estimated 1 in 4 people have genital herpes. It is very common.

Answer 9

I am absolutely terrified and I feel so alone. I just found out last week that I tested positive for hsv1 and 2. I have been with the same man for the past 10 years and within the last year found out that he has cheated on me with numerous women. I am so scared that I can give it to my children by kissing them and them eating with me...I feel like my whole life has changed. And even though the nurses, my doctor, and websites say that a lot of people have it I still feel like I am by myself. My self esteem has dropped and I feel like I have been used up. But now, My life is very happy.
