Recommended Posts

I am male 40, got it from a girl some time 7 years before.Initially severe attack occured.After that every year one attack come. I am married 8 months before ,no issues,my worry is that my innocent wife might have been infected. The recent one occured one month before. It lasted 15 days. My wife saw it. I told some lies.Please tell me how to disclose it my partner without breaking the relationship.!!!

Next two months she will be with me( she is working 1000 kms away). I am taking Acyclovir tab 200mgX3 per day from 23 mar 04.Concurrently taking Viagra generic for ED.(50mg)

Any way to vanish the scar of previous attack? It is very thin sometimes getting pain during intercourse.

Any SPERM FRIENDLY LUBRICATION?

You need to tell your wife - if you have to tell her you were just recently diagnosed - but she needs to be checked too - don't make her suffer unknowingly - you are exposing her everytime you have sex - she deserves to know.

first, you need to be open and honest if you want to salvage your marrage. you cant have a solid marrage based on not telling, just aint gonna happen.

secondly if its painful during sex, there is something not right... you really shouldnt be having sex if there is pain.. thats a little warning sign. get that checked out before you resume activities. as far as the scar goes.. never had a scar from any OB.. so i wouldnt be able to advise you on that. but a topical healing ointment may help. again ask your doc before using anything about possible drug interactions.

HUGE sign.

topical healing ointment
I have used "mederma" for scars - wrks great - but I don't have scars from OBs... if you leave them alone to heal, they don't leave scars typically

ask your doc before using anything about possible drug interactions
nice disclaimer KF!! :wink::o I do agree - always check with the 'ol docaru....

I understand completely how you feel...

I really understand how you feel. After my marriage ended where my husband also had it, I did not know how to ever tell anyone..and so I never did and constantly worried and used condoms..etc etc.

First..there are statistics out there that 1 out of 4 have genital herpes. That is huge even if slightly incorrect. That does not help though if your wife does not already have it.

I am remarried again and somehow could not tell my present boyfriend, now husband either. I was embarrased and thought he would leave me, etc etc. I went a couple years making up excuses why we could not have sex...and slowly breaking him into the idea that maybe I "have something" because something hurts or burns..etc.. Well finally I told him the whole truth. I was scared but it felt so good to finally get it out. We never used condoms by the way after awhile..but I would never do anything if I thought I was getting it. I tried telling him..what If I have something and I give it to you...he said the only thing that would ever scar him was HIV. ..anyway..back to the point.. He was not angry at me, even for lying. He understood actually. ..or so he said he did. We are still together and having a 2nd child. I actually told him while pregnant with the first...did not know how I could hide it anymore.

When someone really loves you...they will understand..if not immediately...they will come around. Just have faith and know you are not alone....my x-husband still has not and can not tell any of his girlfriends...when I see how it torments him...I am grateful I told the truth.

The truth heals. You are also lucky you never get it much.

Just wanted to say that I know it is scary to tell your wife but you must tell her as Las mom says you risk her getting it unknowingly~I got HSV2 from my ex husband he had got it from his previous wife~He knew he had it~rarely had a breakout~I got it from him two years into our marriage~We ended up splitting up not just because of this but because of other trust issues~you need to be honest with your wife~if she really loves you she will accept you for who you are~I have the greatest husband in the world now~I told him two weeks after I met him granted he wanted to leave me( people think the worst of herpes)~~I loved him so much I pleaded for him to stay~he did~ we have been together six years now~he accepts me for who I am~and I think if you are honest with your wife she will accept you for who you are too! Good luck ~

One more thing I forgot to say I agree with the other gal ~you are so lucky you don't get it much I don't see how anyone who got it often could lie to their partner~I have a BO at least every four months~There is no way I could've hid this from my husband~

      Hey @Lcj987 and welcome to the website. You can be sure that isn't HSV-2, looks nothing like it. It is much more likely to be folliculitis or inflamed fordyce spots.

      Hey @JackThrowAway herpes causes an outbreak where it enters the body first and maybe a progressive spread. If it doesn't cause an outbreak at the entry site then it won't cause one elsewhere, it also won't 'jump' upon infection - it would be more likely that the lesions are continuous from the penis to the anus. Nevertheless, testing trumps symptoms or any interpretation of symptoms. The correct conclusive result arises when: you have a positive swab; or An IgG HSV-2 level over 3.5 (Herpeselect test).

      Slept with someone unprotected, roughly 2 weeks ago now. I felt generally unwell the couple of days after but I’d been drinking the whole weekend and didn’t have much sleep either of the days of that weekend so put it down to that. 6 days after I noticed these spots appear on the shaft of my penis. Along with symptoms of discomfort in my shaft in the couple of days prior to them appearing. No pain when urinating at all that I have noticed. They don’t hurt, itch or tingle and they don’t have fluid in from what I can see or feel if I squeeze them and have never burst? I went to a sexual health clinic to get checked up, they took bloods to do a full test and looked at the spots but said they saw nothing that concerned them but I’m not sure about that, any advice? The smaller spots under the shaft are just follicles I had diagnosed years ago and non-sti related.

      She tested positive for HSV2. No, there was nothing of that sort in that area.   However I also have ulcerative colitis so I’m on medication that makes me immunosuppressed. I have been bleeding a bit when I pass stools during the time of redness, so I’m unsure if I’m getting a flare from the colitis (from all the stress of everything) or if it’s due to the virus making it’s way to an already inflamed area and popping up as blisters that I can’t see and hence the bleeding.    I had two equivocal results (at 4 weeks and 6 weeks) that then went to a positive result (7 weeks after exposure). Combine that with some flu symptoms, redness, tingling etc. makes me feel it’s conclusive that this points to a hsv2 infection.
