      How bad is it ? Do you get a lot of outbreaks ? Is it worse than oral(HSV1) ? Because I only get 1 cold sore once a year is it worse than that ?

      Are you the same person who said you had HSV1 because your boyfriend ate you out and he had cold sores ? So who gave you HSV2, same guy ?

      Joe Lewus no different partner. He tested positive for hsv2 the other day. It could also be my serology result was wrong and I actually have type 2. Regardless I most likely have it now but I won’t ever test for it so I don’t know for sure if I do or not and won’t have to disclose.

    • @VM-wt3ti

      Joe Lewus I’ve had one really bad outbreak I thought i had genital hsv1 which is what my blood test showed but it could be hsv2. I’m not ever getting tested again. I’ve had a lot of tingling and pain down there but no ulcers or lesions except for the first time. I either have both or gentile hsv1 or hsv2 my blood test was positive for hsv1 in January but the new person I’m seeing got tested and it came out as hsv2 for him viral culture are very specific which means its not false. I probably have hsv2 now but there’s no record and I don’t know for a fact. It hurts to have sex sometimes. The greatest impact have been my emotional health: I fear disclosure and passing it on. And if I pass it on I can’t ever test for it and have to refuse at any cost. To me the emotional pain of passing on and disclosing are worse than the actual disease. I can deal with the physical symptoms but I’ll never test for herpes ever again so that I won’t have to legally disclose. It’s all a mind fuck at this point.
      Use condoms. Learn from me. I fucked my life over. I got the rare form now.

    What do you do when you have HSV 1 and you go on the first date and they want a kiss? Like...it’s too soon to disclose that private info but at the same time, isn’t it wrong to kiss someone without them knowing you have herpes?

  • @starwalk3r
    @starwalk3r ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The thing about hsv is that it's not indicative of what kind of person you are. It's a part of your life, yes, unfortunately. But it has nothing to do with who you are as a person.

      My Herpes condition was taking over my well being even if I tried healing them with creams, but no effects were noticed even after many years. 8 weeks ago, I started the Herpes treatment *4HerpesCure .Com* and I am pleased to state that the Herpes and its symptoms did not return.

      I have been attempting for years to remove the Herpes that show up every time and then on my upper lip. They are simply too unpleasant as well as whenever I had them I just feel to stay at home till they go off. I tried the Herpes treatment solution *4HerpesCure .Com* and also the Herpes vanished after a few days! They`re completely removed!

    I just found out that I have the virus and I had to break it to the guy that I really care about and what makes it worse is that we already had did stuff way before I found out anything and I balled my eyes out and he told me he doesn't wanna be with me and it hurts me cuz I've brought him around my kids but I had to tell him and it devastates me because I never had any type of symptoms of ever having this virus so now he to go get tested and it's horrible

    This video made me cry.. Thank you for sharing and advicing.. I'm still in the process of acceptance and self love, and I m still scared to have sex with a new partner. I hope I will meet someone that can understand me.
    I feel I don't need sex anymore in my life though.

      This Herpes guide *4HerpesCure .Com* is very useful for my daughter that is why she definitely love it. We have already expended a hefty amount of money trying various Herpes cures for over a year now but not one of them had worked. I am thankful that we`ve found out this guide. We observed an apparent distinction within a couple of days and within a few weeks her Herpes had cleared up.

    Ok, I got to ask you said you were with that guy who gave it to you ? Did he ever have an outbreak during the two years with him ? You said in another video he gave it to you and didn't show any signs.

    Turns out I have both types as well. It’s been pretty depressing to cope with your channel has helped me a lot. Some days I feel like putting a gun to my head. I never tested positive for it so I don’t have to disclose but my partner did via culture for hsv2. I’ll never get tested but deep down I know I have it. It hurts but the worst part is the disclosure I can’t live with that. Ignorance is bliss at this point.

    • @Tampa370

      Joe Lewus partner tested positive via culture for hsv2 recently. I thought I had genital hsv1 it could be hsv2 and the serology results were inaccurate. Regardless I can’t get tested again and no one can force me.

    I don't know what to do I have had a bf f a year. And., had a rash under my stomach got looked at by health department. They, told me I have 1 and 2. I told him he got tested and only has 1. However, he told me he doesn't want to ever sleep with me again. However, he still goes out w me and does nice things f me. However, I want the whole relationship that loves me, is it selfish to tell him I am going to start dating to find a man that wants to love me and be intimate with me?

    • @lifewithherpes

      No, just because you have herpes, doesn't mean you need to tramp your desires and wants. If this person is not the right for you, you move forward. Don't drag it and make it harder for you and him both. There are plenty of people out there who accept their partners with herpes or not.

      blomgren182 Hi. Thanks for asking, I am talking about herpes both orally and genitally. Usually I speak more on genital herpes because there is not a ton of information out there and there is such a huge stigma.
      Yes, I did do an interview with Ricky but that was for my other podcast; Sex, Money and Food.
      Thanks for watching 👍

      Alexandra Harbushka i am sorry to hear. The society is always in need of knowledge about certain diseases and problems The psychological pain is something people dont understandz. Is there no potential cure or good treatments for this, science have come such a long way and to me it feels like the big companies got this quite high on their list or am i wrong? I thought it was interesting talk. Can you get infected from having sex? Anyway its nice to see people suffering from something and still standing strong and dont hide it!

    Can you get Herpes from a kiss? Just curious....

    • @lifewithherpes
      @lifewithherpes  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Michael Franklin hi Michael! Thanks for asking that question. Yes, you can get herpes from a kiss. You can contract HSV 1 & 2 from kissing. The virus is spread from skin to skin. You are most contagious when there is an outbreak. I hope this answers your question.
