Okay-full story in the welcoming forums. Basically sept 2016 I contracted hsv 2, got started on valacyclovir, it healed, had 2nd OB in March 17 due to skipping some doses so stared back on. One year completely Ob free. Now in March (I was sick so immune system was down)  I had a terrible OB. Not sure if I might’ve used my toy when there was an OB currently and didn’t realize it (sorry for tmi!) or what. But just inches of Lil white bumps. They didn’t hurt, sting or itch *thank goodness* but im almost sure that’s what they were. I applied coconut oil constantly and boom they disappeared. Now it’s May and I’m having another Ob. Still on meds. Yes I’ve been stressed but I had been stressed during my year with no OB. What gives? And go to stop them? Stress levels are lowering due to graduation coming soon. And I am going to try to drink apple cider vinegar and/or coconut oil in my tea everyday to prevent them. Does that help some? I’ve been applying both to the area down there and I’m hoping to see some healing soon. Please help!

Have you tried getting a Gynecologist exam it might be pesky yeast 

I have not! I do have a GYNO apt next month and if this stuff is still going on I’ll definitely talk to my doc. I’m so mad, I did have pics of the bumps (I guess you could call them) when it was going on in March but it made me feel so nasty seeing them so I erased them! I considered a yeast but I had had yeast infections before and there weren’t ever bumps like tht

I guess so! I’m trying to find ways to de stress. And trying to eat a better diet and just anything to make them go away! Did you ever take suppressive therapy? I’m aftaid of almost two years being on it that when I try to go off I’ll have outbreaks like crazy!

I was outbreak free for a year. Then I think i stopped on suppressive from September till about January and had an outbreak in January, back to back ones. I have had nothing now for a few months and don't feel anything, I'm not on suppressive again... so I don't know... no real changes in my life.

      SUCCESS STORY: Herpes is an opportunity to built trust and connection through vulnerability.

      By CHT · Posted

      Hi "Jeremy"..... I agree, the topic of your HSV status does not need to be something you disclose too soon in a developing relationship..... get to know each other first....see how it's going and as it progresses, then the HSV issue will naturally need to be revealed.... it's my personal opinion though that before there is any sexual encounter you ought to disclose your HSV status.... I know some will disagree with me on this but, I think it is morally wrong not to disclose first.  This can be a make/break situation for most people but, again, I feel it is simply wrong not to give the other person the whole story since your decision not to disclose could put their health at risk.... that is simply not an option in my opinion.  Looking back to my "pre-HSV" life I most certainly would want my partner to disclose their HSV+ status before intimacy so that I could make my decision as to whether I want to take that risk or not....

      Thanks, CHT. I appreciate the feedback. The whole trauma of going through this has led me to figure out a lot about myself and my attachment wounds, so I'm taking courses to come out of this better. This girl really was my dream woman in so many ways, it's been the hardest heartbreak to deal with ever. I'm truly in a lot of pain, but using the pain as fuel to launch that new business and work with coaches. I also opened up to my family about HSV, so my parents and sister know now, and they were very loving and accepting of it. Since opening up about it, I feel way better around this thing. After opening up, I also found out that some mutual friends in our family have discordant couples who are married with children, so HSV hasn't stopped them from living a loving life. The thing is... all of these couples I mention did not disclose until 6-8 months into the relationship. So now I'm thinking it might be better not to disclose until I know things are very serious. I'll of course stay on the medication and use protection, but maybe this is a better route than disclosing upfront and scaring women off.

      Could this be hsv-2?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      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.

      Unsure if Herpes, awaiting swabs, need help

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      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.
