I truely hope someone can help me.

I have genital herpes for 7 years now, and have a 3 months old baby.

I am so scared !!!! Herpes can be very dangerous for babies and I wash my hands all day lately...:confused:

something strange happen to me 2day: I have a small cut on my finger and simoltaneously I am having a flare-up since 2 days ago. while sitting with my baby the cut opened for some reason (really small cut) and by an instinct I licked the wound.

Can I get the Herpes in my oral area because of that??? Isn't the virus in the bloodstream as well?? I am not worried about myself because I am taking zovirax for 2 days now, but if the virus is in my oral area...and I am kissing my baby??? can I kiss her??

sorry for the funny Q, I am getting nuts...:cry:

the virus is NOT in your bloodstream it is your nervous system.

although it is true that the same virus that causes genital herpes can cause oral infections it is unlikely that you have done that through what you have described.

keep up with the handwashing each time you come into contact with the infected area and maybe wear band-aids to calm your fears.

as long as you don't have oral hsv or coldsores I'd think that you are safe to kiss your baby.

I've never heard about it being in the bloodstream. I understand that our own antibodies are present in the bloodstream and begin forming at initial exposure.

you did mention that you've had this for many years so I did not think that this could be a first ob for you. I still find it unlikely that a little cut where you've never had an ob thus far would be suspect. the virus can be transmitted to hands but it is not a preferred location.

I just learned something.

I had no idea a plaster was the same as a bandage. Yeah band-aid is actually a registered brand name and I'm so used to saying it I never think of it's proper name.

but honestly they call them, plasters, how funny is that?

      Is this a herpes blister on my eyelid? I think I transmitted hsv1 from my genitals to my eyelid

      By tbc122 · Posted

      https://imgur.com/a/cVi8yJY 2 weeks ago I had unprotected oral sex. Few days later I wake up with a stinging sensation in my urethra. I don't have any blisters, lesions or redness, my penis looks completely normal from the outside, but the stinging in my urethra is always there. Urinating doesn't make the pain worse. From the research I've done and how my body feels I'm pretty sure I caught genital hsv1. To make matters worse I think I transmitted it to my eyelid by touching my infected penis and then my eyelid which did develop a blister. Can anyone look at my lower eyelid and tell me if it looks anything like herpes?  I forgot to add that the blister is painless, but my eye is a bit watery. Other than that it's fine and my eyesight is good. Considering how this all developed in a matter of a week after I had unprotected sex it can't be much else than herpes..

      Hey I see that they also sell the pill form in 100 mg and 500 mg form. Do you think this is as affective? They have the regular and extract version of the pill. Which would you think is the right one to get? And how many pills per day to get the same effect of say 16 seeds?

      How accurate is a blood test for herpes

      By scurrred · Posted

      I had an IGG test  and the ranges were out of range and high  HSV 1 was 42 and HSV 2 was 19 so I guess it was accurate but the problem now is I can't figure out when or who I got it from. In 2018 to 2019 when I was with my ex I was STD tested but not sure if herpes was included but my ex was supposed to get tested but refused. I experienced some trauma with him and didn't date until a year and a half later so I'm confused. The guy I dated after the ex who didn't want to be tested I told them a week ago about my results he was trying to be there for me and understanding,I told him to get tested but to request a herpes blood test , because he had no noticeable lesions or bumps ever is what he said and I never noticed any on him now he has shut down all his social media and I can't reach him. Hoping he's okay, I feel bad because in 2018 I did have what I was told it was an abrasion that tingled but at my doctor the day I was tested they told me it wasn't herpes but I think it was only a visible diagnosis. I keep having it reoccur from time to time

      HSV genital likely?

      By CHT · Posted

      Hello "FeelingLost".... your fears and concerns are understandable but, nothing you've described regarding the sexual encounter would cause you to contract herpes.... further, your symptoms are not herpes related.  Best of all, your doctor is correct, your results don't show any herpes here.  You can relax.... definitely have your GP take a look at things and see what might be causing the symptoms but, again, none of them are typical herpes related.  I wish you the best in terms of talking to your wife about this encounter.... hopefully she will understand and you both can work through this amicably.  We all make mistakes.... be careful not to beat yourself up too hard over this.... you can become so racked with guilt that you start imagining physical symptoms.  Best of luck.... and take care..... come back to the site if you have questions.
