Ok, so I'm guessing there's many post about this topic but some of them aren't answering my question I guess...

But I'm just wondering what most do to prevent the virus from getting other places and most important your fingers (cuticles). I get really bad hangnails and lotion doesn't always help. I'm a waitress so I'm used to always washing my hands before and after handling food. I work in a retirement home so I think it's very important not to get any of the residents sick.

What I've been doing is washing everything before I get to my private area. I tend to have an oily face and sometimes when I shower it stings my eye cause I don't exfoliate my face right away so my question is, is it safe to touch my eyes?

Also when I shave I shave everything before my genitals but I haven't really shaven my kitty since I'm scared about tiny tears and transmitting it somewhere. That being said I decided to use two separate razors...one for my legs and underarms and another for my private. But my sister has a tendency to use my razor when I'm not there so I'm wondering if the virus will remain on there, I don't want her to get herpes on her leg or in her privates! :(

Lastly, when I get out the shower I have two towels, one for my hair and the other for my body. Again, I dry all my other body parts then dry my privatess...is it an okay way to do it or am I being too paranoid? Do you wash them more often than before or the same?

I no longer have an outbreak but I'm thinking about waxing again, overall gives you a nice lasting result! I still think I'm contagious but ahh, I don't wanna shower and get it all over my body lol.

Any feedback will surely be appreciated :)

Oh almost forgot!!

Okay, I use a loofah to wash my body and I was wondering if I can rinse it off a lot and put it back and not spread the virus? I'm okay with soap since I use body wash and vaginal wash so my sister and mother are okay lol.

Actually, in the shower, you're standing under hot runing water, covering yourself with soapy water... which is going to kill any virus cells instantly. That's the last place I think you have to worry about spreading it anywhere.

I always wash the body first (with wash cloth) and shave as I go, then wash my face with my hands (I use exfoliant soap too), then wash my hair last. I don't use separate razors for different areas.

I think maybe you could relax a bit about transferring it somewhere else on your body, especially if you've had it a while, and especially in the shower.

Ah, thanks MsLucy, I don't really know how long I've had the virus I was told on Tuesday I have HSV-2. But honestly not sure how long I've had it.

That puts my mind to rest cause I just dont ever want to give anything to my sister. My mom also washes my underwear (which I don't get but I don't mind lol) and gets my and my sister's confused sometimes and she's worn my underwear which of course then turns into hers cause ya know it's weird if I take them back! Not really scared cause she washes them pretty well.

Ah you talking about all this shower paranoidness makes me feel a little nervous now. But overall the shower IS hot, soapy, and clean. Is shaving related to causing OB's? I might have to find a thread addressing this topic.. and what is the risks of spreading it to cuticles, nails? AND am i allowed to re ask a question on an already asked thread??? I might repost these questions.

Sorry... didn't mean to overlook those parts of your question.

As for razors, if you shave everything else first, then your nethers, you won't spread anything around. By the time you shave again, any virus cells that may have been picked up on the razor will have died or been washed off. The virus dies very quickly once outside the body, plus you rinse your razor after use, I'm sure. I always reuse my razor, and have never had a problem.

I understand about your hangnails. Because of my work, I almost always have cuts, burns, etc. somewhere on my hands. Plus, I wash my hands constantly so they get really chapped in the winter, and often develop small cracks in the skin. They're a mess! It's something I never think about in the shower, mainly for the reasons I listed in my last post, but I'm also careful never to touch an ob with my bare hands. I'm not paranoid about it, it's just not something I do, because an opening in the skin is a gateway for virus and bacteria. Not only do I want to avoid transferring the virus to my hands, but I also don't want to transfer bacteria from my hands onto an ob.

Hoipe that helps.

      Looking for some insight on an atypical experience.

      By CHT · Posted

      Hello "NerdP423"..... well, you've certainly covered all your bases as it relates to testing for herpes.  And without question, the answer is clearly "No" you do not have HSV2.  Two Western blots and multiple swabs and IgG tests are all telling you the same thing... you don't have HSV2.  Also, almost all your symptoms are not remotely related to herpes.  I have not heard of anyone taking over a year, in spite of multiple testing, before they finally come up positive.... it makes no sense. I fear you may be obsessing on this virus and have somehow convinced yourself you have it.... despite your myriad of testing that says otherwise.  You need to try and calm your mind down as it relates to this virus.  If the symptoms you listed are still of concern, you should pursue answers from a doctor but, pushing for an HSV2 answer makes no sense at this point..... I hope you get some clarification on your symptoms but, again, you clearly already have your answer as it relates to HSV2.   Best of luck.

      Hi "Janiewayne"..... I'm sorry you got some not so good news regarding the virus but, glad you found this site.  How were you tested for the virus?  Was it a PCR swab of a sore/lesion?  It would be too soon to have an IgG antibody test if you believe your infection may have occurred as a result of the one night stand only a month ago.  Do you have a copy of the results yet?  Can you upload a copy so we can look it over.... sometimes things are misinterpreted so, it can't hurt to have others look over the results to be sure you have accurate results.  Have you had sores/lesions?  How soon after your sexual encounter?  Did they also test you for HSV1?  If so, what was that result. I know it's very unsettling (to put it mildly) at this stage.... but, I assure you, it will get better.  Never underestimate your ability to adapt to a new situation even if it's less than an ideal situation.  It is a relatively innocuous virus and only occasionally manifests and causes you any symptoms.... which can typically be drastically controlled with antivirals. I hope you will share your results and we can get an accurate accounting of what is going on.... take care for now.... one step at a time.

      Silly kids.  I find cheap healthy fix.  Fixes immune system.  Safe effective. .  I'm 20 years into health movement.  I finaly see it . Found doctor who gives free information.  Actually saves lives .  Seen best forgetting medicines. Works same as new doctors iv therapy's.    You have to fix your immune system.. no vaccine will do it. It injures immune system.   I know how to fix intestines . Gotta heal and plump thicken up.   Chasing money mans dreams buying deadly vaccines. no way vaccine will help you.   Need nutrion and raw milk diet or need like Gerson therapy diet... lots grapes can work . Actually grapes and raw milk best fir intestines...  milk make sick first cause it's detoxing bad bugs and body getting out of body.  Be healthier after words... only thing I know combat uossy stomach indigestion fast or drink to prevent eating junk is raw milk.   Intestines get thin dry up.  Milk plumps you back up.   Organs intestines new blood .     I got books on it from doctors... once in a while vaccines can trigger immune system to recognize fight cancer.   Any jabs specially covid jabs paralyze part of immune system then get cancer other problems.  Set disease free vs fighting it...       If you knew how they rig trials to pass drugs . If new I think Monsanto runs fda now.   Old ceo presidents of big pharma retire then work for fda.  They pass deadly drugs get sued.  Rename it then give bad drugs to people. very evil man...   stem cells better option.    I forget can find dive chambers.   Cheap hyperbaric oxygen chamber .  Push oxygen all through body juices and cells...  that should help.. heals old wounds and brain as well ... so cant lose there.  Can kill bugs viruses just sitting in a tank.  Do it for week or 3 days at a time.   Be around 250 a dive.   Best new medicine I've scene . New technology is to expensive.  45 grand but worth it if in Car accident brain injuries on wheel chair.  It get you walking again in few weeks.  Any way good luck. Where I would go and forget vaccines.  Eugenics people still exist.  They into medicines and vaccines.  Get educated you stay away from there medicines if you can. Lol.

Sex is bad get married .  Go get 50 zinc pills,  vitamin A 10 000 and D3 5000.  Take 1 A and 2 D3 with a zinc .  You be way better.  From modern medicine with real doctor and hospital.   Build killer white t cells. They can kill viruses... cells get thicker and slippery so hard to infect and contain infection .  You feel better tate away .  Out breaks be way better . Even quicker to no smells they can create . .  Fights it inside the body ... when it comes out body attack kill it ... in year might be no more out breaks . 6 months you see huge difference most likely...  best medicine backed by science.  Cheap effective...  zinc is just chemistry thing. Keeps mouth cleaner killing bugs . Helps prevent catching things through mouth juices slime... just chemistry virus ant gonna like being around.    That simple.  Your lucky I came back ...  doctor has virus killing iv therapy he uses from 1930s from Germany.  Old family practice from his  grand father  at least. Got all medical records of old treatments that work . He has modern stuff and figured out tricks to get success.  His kid take over after he is done . Can even take your blood add oxygen and vitamins and regenerate knee joints and treat arthritis.     Your lucky day man.   Like 30 bucks and have have around 2 months pills .  Cheap it work for everybody.   Pharma pills not even close.  Good luck ... 20 years looking at things . I got books on old best medicines treatments vegan to milk ... better today's treatments mist the time .  Very exciting .  Low vitamin d immune system don't work.  Run from vaccines unless think got rabies.   Vaccines kill you if low on vitamin d .. lol.   Gotta have immune system to fight vaccine to make antibodies...  old doctor said only people got cancer was vaccinated people.   Back when doctors could have a say and not moderated.  Lol.

      Gotta fix intestines to improve immune system.  That is grass fed raw milk ...  all there magic potions will always compromise your immune system...  you just need 2 vitamins and a mineral . Body produces virus killer cells ...  fighting the virus when it comes out to play.   Shedding dont matter... gonna shed the body is getting rid of virus to get healthy. Detoxing basically. Better out than injected into your blood stream infecting you...  just take building blocks.  Body fights it 24 hours a day .  After year you be almost cured . Lot better . 2 years might be no problems.    Never trust big pharma.  They selling expensive products.  Thay dont work usually.   I only came back cause I actually found doctor free advice . Doctor saved lives from bugs viruses.  Regular doctors left them to die period .  Exciting man. I be more excited but I got other problems and damages.  Lol. I figured it out.   Be fool to try virus iv as well.  It can fix immune system problems cause body attacks virus but it attacks you in process...  taken me about 20 years.  Finally put it all together...   vitamin d  is low you die of covid or col flu .  You hardly get sick or catch anything if vitamin d is high enough...  vitamin d is low your immune system don't work or not good enough .  Guess what happens if got a safe vaccine regular cold? If low on vitamin d  your immune system cant fight the vaccine and build immunity.  You may die in few days or week... vaccine cant even work unless you have healthy immune system... lol.  Vitamin d deficiency...  add vitamin a and d3.  Cell walls get thicker and slippery . Hard to infect and contains infection ...   pretty cool man ...  everybody is low on vitamin d in winter.  We get colds and flu season.  Not enough sun shine ... simple world made complicated... doctor backed what I am saying with patients testimony he saved treating other bugs viruses.   Take care ... I'm excited to help. Out nothing for trying .  Might cost you 30 bucks for couple months of pills ... lol.
