Hi, I've had type II herpes for about 2 years now. When I got it I freaked out on the inside, but I never let it show. I've never talked about it. I only recently found this board. I Haven't had a relationship in the 2 years I've had this. I feel like what normal girl wants to go out with a guy who's infected. Before I had this If a girl came and told me she was infected I would of run. I feel lost ashamed dirty. I feel like ill never have a normal life. I just want to go back but I can't.

Hello and welcome. We are glad you found us as this is the perfect place to talk about herpes. Many of us here have it and have gone through similar feelings.

Feel free to ask any questions or jump in with some advice for others.

Getting your problems off your chest here with no judgement is a great step to learning to accept this virus.

And have a read through the posts - there you will find many stories of people having great relationships regardless of herpes. Hopefully these will cheer you up at bit.

      Okay.... makes sense.... I hope it is helping.  Again, I would ask about a Rx for valacyclovir instead of acyclovir.... valacyclovir gets more acyclovir into your system than taking straight acyclovir.

      Is this HSV???

      Hi @Throwaway765 yes that all makes sense and you’ve pretty well reached the right conclusions except for a very significant fact!! You are right, receiving genital HSV-2 from oral sex is unheard of, just not feasible given how people have it and whether it actually sheds in infectious quantities or not. Safely rule this out. Now HSV-1; once you have this as you do orally, you have immunity against infection anywhere else on the body, it is also not feasible.  The symptoms you describe are also not related to herpes in the absence of lesions.

      Is this HSV???

      By Throwaway765 · Posted

      Thanks for your response! I received unprotected oral 10 weeks ago and immediately after had stinging in my glans and weird nerve pain. I am positive for HSV1 due to cold sores I got as a child, but as recent as 9 weeks after this exposure have tested negative for HSV2.    im nervous that I may have acquired hsv1 again on my genitals since HSV2 is rarely acquired from oral sex and doesn’t shed hardly at all, but haven’t seen any sores yet. Just weird symptoms and this started recently in my buttcrack when I was taking antibiotics.   Any advice or perspective would be greatly appreciated. @WilsoInAus

      Hi @Throwaway765 and welcome. There is absolutely no concern over this being related to herpes. Something must be concerning you as to the possibility of herpes… what is it?
