Just one or two kisses enough?

Tommy B asked:


Actually it was more like two or three 5 second kissing on the lips. My question is could I have contracted hsv1 with just on kiss? My other question is if you test positive for hsv1 – and your not sure how you got it and never had any signs, then how the heck do you know if it’s oral or genital?

Appreciate someone with some experience in this.

Thanks

marlow asked:


I was diagnosed with genital hsv 1. i was put on acyclovir for 7-10 days. It worked very well do reduce the outbreak. it’s been 25 days since my outbreak first started. . yet its still not 100% healed. it doesn’t bother me but its still there. should i continue to take the acyclovir till its completely gone even though they recommended 7-10days?
also…since hsv1 is the same strand as cold sores…but i have it genitally. would abreva help?

this is a silly question but whatever but my friend has hsv1 and..i dont think she had a sore at the time but …she saw there was an eye lash in my eye and she used her finger that she put in her mouth to clean my eye where the eye lash was…she has fake nails so can i get eye herpes from this? and if i kiss someone with hsv1 i can mostly get it if the person has a cold sore correct?

Cold sores and genital herpes?

j asked:


I have a cold sore at the moment, and it’s dry right now. My husband and I were in the moment and I did lick my finger and put it down there for literally 2 seconds and remembered about my sore. Whats the chances it can develop into genital herpes?? I’ve been reading that if you have hsv1 that your body builds antibodies to it and you cant develop it in your genitals. How true is this, and what are the chances of my husband possibly contracting it??

“You Have Herpes” said the doctor?

B-bouy asked:


Okay guys, here is my situation. I went for the blood test and the doctor told me that he didnt find anything serious but herpes. he emphasised that its nothing to worry about because almost 80% of the population got it. but i was on state of shock that i did not dare to ask. Herpes! omg does it mean that i have an STD?

i dont think so, because there is absolutely no damn way i could have gotten it, period. later, i found out that there are 2 typa herpes, one caused by HSV 1 and HSV 2. n one is the common one where people usually have cold sore on labial regions and can be activated by sunlight, stress or fever, duhhhhhhh! n HSV2 was that drives me crazy, sexually transmitted and affects genital areas.

from all the facts i have provided do u think i should be worried? by the way, the blood tests do not necessarily show a current infection, it can be antibodies acquired from the past.

doctors should be more open as well. its not 1923 when people didnt know much about all these things. lols! long live the blueberry generation!!!!!
i v never had any sores whatsoever! i m just normal.

I have Question about Stds?

mhalderman asked:


About 3 months ago I tested positive for HSV1 and HSV2 I have been in a serious relationship with the same man for 2 years. And never had spontaneous partners. I have accepted that my test came up positive but there seems to be a wierd twist. I went to the doctor not having any bumps of any sort, actually for a bladder infection, I decided to do an overall std check, I got a phone call a couple days later stating I was positive for herpes, so i asked which kind and they told me they would have to call me back…..A WEEK later they call me and tell me It is both viruses and that i have Hep. B. So my whole world was crashing down, they asked if I would like to come in to talk about treatments so i did. When I get there they tell me I don’t have Hep. B but i have herpes and would not allow me to be prescribed to valtrex. I never saw any paper work or anything, they seem like nut cases to me. It wasn’t my usual doctor, i am going to get re-tested but I just want to know what other people think about this. I know you can not have symptoms and come across an STD like this but I haven’t had even the slightest itch…..I’m just wondering what the chances are that you can confuse HSV1 with HSV2 bc i knew I had virus 1. Thanks Everyone!
