Met her in an online dating site in 2007, what started as a fling grew to a true (atleast to me) friendship. She was there when I was in my down phases and made feel just a little bit like an actual person  What would YOU do, E/N? I was really looking forward to meeting her again

You do realize that 90% of the population has HSV-1 correct? I think you need to look up the differences between HSV-1 and HSV-2.

To break it down, OP, the viruses behind genital herpes and oral herpes are different. If you want to be an 8 year old, yes, you can giggle about the fact your friend has a form of herpes that a huge amount of people do.

I wish I knew who the gently caress have me mouth herpes. I was getting cold sores (very infrequently like usual) from a really young age and I'd love to know how that all started. Op, maybe you should write a detailed letter to your "friend" about it and hand it to her. Watch her read it in front of you so that you can answer any questions afterwards if she has any. She will certainly thank you and have sex with you. Make sure not to kiss her on the mouth though, since I am assuming you don't have cold sores and you will want to remain among the small percentage of people who do not have mouth herp.

imo i think it is good that people can go into e/n and get advice on serious stuff like brain issues, disease, dealing with loss, all sorts of serious things. but when a grown rear end man goes in here and is about to walk up to someone and tell them they have herpes, i feel like, the people who have prevented this from happening by giving advice that is, admittedly genuine and helpful and usually good, should step back and think about whether they truly did the right thing in this situation, and keep that in mind when moving forward.

Cold sores aren't a big deal at all, and most of the time neither are genital herpes sores (unless you're pregnant). Both of them are an occasional minor inconvenience for most people who experience them. They don't cause complications, they get better not worse over time, and they are self-limiting in a short period of time. Don't kiss anyone with an active sore or let someone with an active sore perform oral sex on you, and you are at extremely low risk of having to deal with this minor inconvenience personally. Your friend knows she has herpes of the mouth. You don't have to tell her. She just puts that information into its appropriate context and concludes it's not a big deal.

When do HSV-2 occurences start to subside in general & how do you deal with the guilt of knowing you might be potentially giving it to someone even if they said they were fine with it when you disclosed?

Most people will have five to ten outbreaks in the first year after infection, with the first outbreak having the worst symptoms. Genital HSV-2 recurs more frequently, up to five times per year for the average person. (Genital HSV-1 usually recurs one or fewer times per year.) Outbreaks get milder and less frequent over time. If you're worried about transmission, take a prophylactic antiviral like acyclovir or valacyclovir (VALTREX) and use barrier protection every time you have sex. You're most likely to pass on the virus when you have sores, but you may also be contagious during asymptomatic viral shedding. Antivirals reduce both recurrences and asymptomatic shedding significantly. As for guilt, do you also worry that you might give people the flu every time you kiss them during flu season? (You're contagious for 3-5 days before you feel sick.) The best way to deal with apprehension about transmission is to take sensible precautions to prevent it, inform your partner of the risk, and then trust them to make their own decisions since they're (I hope) an adult.

Remember that this is just a virus with a visible tell. People pass on face mites all the time and you'll never see one unless you swab a pore and check under a microscope!

I think I only have chicken pox herpes, otherwise I am asymptomatic to the other ones. Maybe she meant Canker Sore? When I was a kid I called those cold sores, and get them every once in awhile if I get sick or real stressed out.

After reading about it I thought canker sores and cold sores were the same thing but it looks like they aren't. Looks like I don't have the herp after all!

Just FYI, hsv-1 & hsv-2 aren't limited to being genital or oral exclusively. You can have either strain either place (or other places!) Still not a big deal, though. And also a pretty large amount of people are positive for it without ever being symptomatic. I'm jealous of those people, cause I still get outbreaks.

I know someone who gets hsv-1 around their eye. They have to stay home to avoid spreading the virus and be mega-careful monitoring if anything is getting *in* their eye because it could potentially blind them if left untreated.

How does someone pull that off? Get your eye licked? Or is it so contagious that you can touch your mouth and then rub your eyes and then you have eye herp?
