Success Story: There’s no telling where you will find love.
Ed and I e-mailed and spoke on the phone for about six weeks before we met in person. I hadn't seen a close up photo of him before we met, but his personality shined through in e-mails and phone conversations. I knew from the laugh that came up from his toes and his caring, gentle nature that I would like him regardless of physical appearance. I was pleasantly surprised to find that he is as attractive on the outside as he is on the inside. Our first meeting in at a halfway location, in July 2009, was ...
Male to Female Risk of Transmission
Question: What are the transmission rates of catching HSV2 from Male to Female when you are not experiencing symptoms. I have had herpes for about five years and I have met someone that I am going to have to tell. I am frightened because I don't know what the reaction is going to be and I really like this girl a lot. I did some research and a few polls taken indicated that people without this condition would most likely not get involved with people that have HSV2. She has already told me that she is very sexual so I ...
Dealing with Rejection
Question: I recently started seeing this really, really great guy. All we do is laugh and I truly enjoy his company. I did the right thing, I had the talk the other night because he wanted to move things forward. This was the hardest thing I've had to do. I had to tell him I have HSV2. He didn't know what to say. He was actually very nurturing about it and I told him I was going to give him an option that no one felt the need to give me. He was ok with it that night. Next night, not ...
Genital herpes due to HSV-1
Question: I have read that about 50% of primary outbreak cases of genital herpes are caused by HSV-1. Wow, this surprised me as the figures are huge and probably millions of Americans are infected with genital herpes caused by HSV-1. My questions are, do they reoccur frequently, or the breakouts keep coming back for a small percentage of people. While many would only get primary outbreaks and hardly anything after that. Is not having oral sex the only way of not passing the infection to others. Answer: I know it's correct that HSV-I is the cause of 1/3 to 1/2 of the NEW genital ...
HSV1 vs. HSV2 clarification
Question: Can you catch HSV2 via oral sex? I was reading various informational sites so I can get more familiar with this virus and I don't know if I am misinterpreting some of the information. I was always taught and have read that you can have oral HSV1 and genital HSV1...and I know about genital HSV2, but can someone catch oral HSV2 by performing oral sex on someone with genital HSV2? And if that is true, then that would mean they have cold sores caused by HSV2. I just never heard of that, so I am little confused. Also, my boyfriend ...
