What now??

I found out I had H about a month or so ago. I still haven't "accepted" it yet with myself, which is probably going to take a while. But it gets better everyday I guess. But my question is this.. exactly how far can a person go that has H with a person who does not-sexually i mean?? I wasn't that sexually active before I got H but more than normal. Now I want to wait until I meet the right person before having sex with someone again ,because, if I am in a relationship then I tell my partner that I have H (with him accepting it or not) and then things don't work out.... he'll know. I don't want people to know. Just the person that I am going to spend the rest of my life with (who knows if that will ever happen). So now I am going to wait until I am married to have sex again. But back to my question... Can any one tell me how far a person can go -sexually -that has H with a person who does not.. oral?? is that ok?? any replies would help!!! thanks to all of you

It does take a long time to accept...but you will eventually. I feel the same as you...I do not want poeple to know and I even avoid dating so I do not have to deal with telling. BUT in the same breath, I was with a man for over a year, and he was very accepting and it was never an issue in our relationship. I guess I have not been with anyone since because I have not felt like they were the 'right person'. And there is alot more to a relationship than sex. Really, sex is 1 hour out of a day and the 'right person' needs to make u happy for the other 23 hours too. H has made me much more selective over the people I date because I know if it goes anywhere I eventually have to tell the person.

My advice....things will work out. When you meet the person you feel like you can tell, and that can support you and help you deal with H. Not all non-H people have a negative attitude about it...there are understanding people out there. Take care :)

      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.
