foodguy4 asked:


I just met this girl who I’m attracted to. A few days ago, I saw that she had a cold sore. Is my risk of contracting HSV1 by kissing her limited only to when she has an active sore or can I catch it any time from her?. What about oral sex, can she transmit to me without having an active sore or am I at risk any time? Thanks

Genital Herpes/Chlamydia Question?

Trung T asked:


Well heres my story, One morning I just woke up and I feel my penis in slight pain. Over the next day it starts burning/hurting while I urinate only on the tip no pain else where. I went to go get checked up and the results came in negative for anything.

Then a few days later I get 2 red bumps near the peehole on the tip of my penis, so I went to go get seen and am scared its possibly herpes. Because I do have clear discharge. So the doctor gives me meds for Chlamydia and Herpes while I wait for the results for the HSV2 test. It takes 7 days so Its not forsure that I do have it and I pray to god that its not.

After I took the pills for Chlamydia the pain went away almost instantly, so I’m just hoping that it is possible for the test to be wrong and for me to have Chlamydia and the bumps can be a blister? or infection instead of herpes? Any useful advice or opinions will be appreciated thank you!

Like almost 2yrs ago I went to a gyn appt, had a check up & winded up getting tested for everything. They took a culture and sensitivity test (cs). A few days later over that weekend, I started feeling weird and thought I had some kinda yeast infection which was a side effect from this medication I was on. Then on that monday the nurse practitioner who did my exam said I tested positive for HSV2. Of course I was shocked and devestated. But since then I have not had anything that looks like those pictures of herpes that I’ve researched. Well last week I went to a new gyn, told her I had herpes and she wanted to test me again. She called back the other day, left a mesg and said my blood work was negative and there was nothing in the blood and to try to get her the results from the culture test from 2008. So how can one test say I’m positive then 2yrs later another one say the blood was fine? What does this mean?
Ok thank you so much. I’m hoping the first test was wrong but it seems too good to be true. I tried to call the dr today but I guess they weren’t open yet and she called back and left a message saying the same thing

is it possible to transmit oral herpes from the mouth to the vagina?

Posted on January 23, 2012 by

Derrick C asked:


Ive been to the doctor and they told me i have herpes of the mouth and they assured me that its completely normal and that most of the population has it and I was wondering that if it is possible to transmit that oral herpes of the mouth to the vaginal area while giving oral sex. Is it possible when its not active and what about when it is active?
But having oral herpes on the vaginal area is considered gentail herpes or oral herpes?
besides the location what else is different? Symptoms? Are the symptoms of Gentail herpes the same as oral herpes when its on the gentails?
