Genital Herpes Simplex :: Can You Get A Wax?

Genital Herpes Simplex :: How To Find If It's Old Or New?
I am a 47 year old married female, just went to the doctors last week....although I do not have my test results back, he is positive I have genital herpes...to say the least, I am an emotional train wreck.
I have had multiple affairs, using condoms except with a trusted co worker, however one did have a mouth sore when performing oral(co worker) I never correlated that with genital herpes until I did my research.
Here is my question...I'm assuming the test result (culture) will tell if it's type 1 or 2....but how do I find out if it's an old infection ???
When I was 18 I had an std, it burned when I went to the bathroom,,, I was broke out...hard to walk...went to emergency room...I just don't remember if the dr said hpv or hsv...
Gosh this all makes me sound so dirty...I'm a professional, clerical at a hospital, co workers will see testing and billing, I feel so ashamed...I have children and grandchildren now,the stigma is devastating....I have not told anyone yet but my best friend, I've been abstaining from all sexual activity.
Genital Herpes Simplex :: Depressed
I'm a 20 year old female who was diagnosed with genital herpes simplex 2. I have been diagnosed for 2 weeks now and i've been depressed because i don't know what to do. I don't have any out breaks no more thank God but i do know that my ex boyfriend has genital herpes before i caught it. He caught genital herpes 2 years ago and me and him been having sex with a condom but he never exposed me. I left him alone and start having sex with another guy, without a condom but i know for sure he did not expose me to genital herpes. Me and my ex had sex 2 weeks ago and i had 3 bumps on my vagina that was itchy i thought they were hair bumps, turn out to be herpes. I cant believe i have herpes, i know my ex still loves me and we both love sex a lot but sometimes i hate myself and wish this never happened. I don't go out as usual and i don't show a lot of excitement no more like i use too. I need help! Im depressed, i know i cant tell someone that I have herpes because they will not accept me for who i am and they will know for a fact that im a walking disease im hurting inside.

Ok so i'm wondering if u can spread the virus if 1. U feel u are in between shedding and a outbreak. When i shed it feels tingly. Then i will have a day or so with absolutely no symptoms then Bam... a outbreak and 2. If u have a outbreak on your outer labia does that mean ur inner labia is contagious as well? Is viral shedding only active at the specific place where the outbreak is? Or is everything contagious?

Still haven't gotten my results... But it doesn't hurt to go to the bathroom anymore. I've been able to wipe fine and haven't even been itchy. Checked for bumps or anything out of the ordinary and from what I can tell there doesn't seem to be anything now. So this is what gives me hope that it is GH, but I was wondering when I can start shaving again if it does happen to be GH?

I recently contracted oral AND genital herpes. Myself and my DR were almost certain it was HSV-2, but yesterday, my results showed that they were BOTH infact HSV-1! So I know this is the cold sore virus, but I'm wondering if it acts the same as HSV-2, will I get flare ups every now and again for the rest of my life? Do I need to let potential partners know I had this virus?

I was diagnosed with herpes last night. I'm really confused!
I have antibiotics to clear the outburst i currently have. Im worried about telling people and if i have new sexual partners in the future.
Once it's cleared will i still be risking someone else with the infection or am i only risking someone if i have a outburst?
I don't understand! Iv read loads of forums and nothing is clear!
How long do the outbreaks normally last?
What's the percentage of me getting another one?
Does alcohol and a poor diet really affect me?
Genital Herpes Simplex :: Itching During Shower?
I was out shopping last Thursday evening. When I made it home I hopped in the shower. Before this I felt absolutely nothing, but when I wash my scrotum it itched like crazy which made me scratch like crazy. When I gout out and dried off, the area I had scratched was raw. I looked down and it was a little red but no bumps, blisters or anything. When I put my finger on area later it burned a little, but I assumed that was because I broke the skin by scratching in the shower. It made a long scab the next morning and when I got in the shower the scab came off, which made it a little sore. From itching in the shower Thurs night to Sunday, everything had cleared up. My question is does this sound like herpes?
View 5 RepliesGenital Herpes Simplex (HSV) - Nothing To Worry - 80% Population Has It
I have been reading all week on this topic and I think we all need to become nuns and monks if we never want to catch the horrible disease. Some say wear condoms to protect ourselves some say condoms won't completely stop the virus because of any skin contact . Then there's the viral shedding to constantly worry about when and if we have it. Also we may never get sores but be a carrier.
I have been tested and have HSV2 I only ever get 1 tiny bump that comes up a few times.
I've been worrying about it so much lately that if I worry anymore it will probably be there all the time. Stress they say causes outbreaks. Well with all the information i've read you wouldn't want to be with anyone or ever have sex again and become ocd.
I have however read some really positive stories that gives me some kind of reassurance.
So i'm not worrying anymore about this it's not a death sentence we all probably have it as statistics say 80% of the population do.
I just read a post recently and the poor girl was asking what if I kiss my partner and I had a cold sore signal tingling and he gives me oral sex then I kiss him after and so on and on ffs when does it end with worry!
We could be wiped out tomorrow with a outbreak of some deadly virus
Just live your lives as best you can and be happy for each day you have with loved ones.
I'm not worrying anymore about this.
Genital Herpes Simplex :: Kick In The Vagina

View 27 RepliesHerpes :: Taking Antivirals And Natural Remedies Together
Diagnosed via visual inspection and symptoms. Blood test negative. (i believe i have hsv 2, my dr agrees), i've been researching just like everyone else, and have come up with a few questions.
I'm currently taking l-lysine 3000mg per day, oil of oregano, olive leaf extract, colloidal silver, garlic supplement, and ahcc internally. Ive successfully stopped the primary/initial outbreak, but still getting some very mild tingling....
Is there any harm in taking all those anti virals at once? can i take them for a prolonged period?
It would seem the issue with curing this virus is the fact that it hides in the base of the spine, in the nerves, is that the one and only place it hides?
can hsv 2 hide elsewhere?
does anyone know how much of the virus comes out of the spine during an outbreak? is it all of the virus? half? a quarter?
Since the virus can be killed when it leaves the spine, one would think that if you caused outbreaks on purpose, over and over, intentionally, for a prolonged period, or until the triggers stopped causing the outbreaks, while on a high dose of antivirals, that maybe a way to actually eradicate the virus and cure it? has anyone explored this? its an interesting thought to me. Everyone wants to stop the outbreaks, i'm wondering if we are doing this backwards??
does anyone have experience with the dmso stuff? or does anyone have any documented stories of anyone, anywhere, curing this virus?
also, what's the official stance on proving you are virus free? no outbreaks rights? that's pretty much the only thing we can check, cause the antibodies will stay in your blood, right? after a positive blood test, it will always be positive, right? is there any other tests?
anyone have any new news on new cures, or vaccines? from some quick searching the best case scenarios i think i saw, were a vaccine for women in maybe 2 years, and maybe a cure in 5? that might be wishful thinking though... seems like there are a few teams trying to figure this out.
Genital Herpes Simplex :: Sore Throat And Swollen Glands
I was diagnosed with genital HSV 1 in November. I've come to terms with it l, but I'm still learning amount it.
A few days ago, I had a sore throat and 1 swollen gland. The next day, I noticed a couple of white spots on the back of my throat. There has been no fever. I have not had any type of sex since early January.
Called my pcp and he called in regular antibiotic until I can get in to see him next week.
Could this be related to my HSV 1 condition or strep throat.

View 3 RepliesGenital Herpes Simplex :: Asymptomatic Virus Shedding (carrier)
I was tested positive for HSV2.
I've done the HSV 2 type 2 specific Elisa Euroimmun igg test
1st result is 43.5RU/ml July 28th 2015
2nd result is 23.9RU/ml Nov 4th 2015
3rd result is 54.9RU/ml Jan 29th 2016
Less than 16 RU/ml--Negative
16 and less than 22 RU/ml--Borderline
More than 22 RU/ml--Positive
I never have any visible symptoms, I understand that this is very common.
I would like to ask if I have itchy or tingling feeling at my scrotum or the base area of penis shaft. Is it every time I have this feeling it is Asymptomatic Virus Shedding?
Also I would like to know the best way to prevent passing this HSV2 to my gf if we would like to have sex.
I know wearing protection is a must, is there any ways that can further reduce the chance of passing it to her?
(She knows I am a positive, and she is not a positive.)
Genital Herpes Simplex :: Tingling And Constant Itching, Ball Ache, Sore Penis
My partner has been diagnosed with HSV2 in the genitals. He has never had an external break out with sores but ever since he has been diagnosed 7 weeks ago he has constant itching around is anus and all down the insides of the inner legs (especially where the underwear line is), ball aches (just one ball at a time), tingling pains like shards of glass under his skin all throughout his anus, balls, penis and inner thighs. Some days are better than others and he can get thru the day. Other days he can't even bear to sit or walk. Its gotten so bad now he cant even touch his penis! some days the inside of his penis burns and it feels like there is still urin left inside. other days his ball aches so bad that a stabbing pain goes up into his stomach, it is debilitating he cant even concentrate at work. a minute can't pass without something hurting.
He has tried a full course of valtrex for 10 days and nothing helped. he tried no meds and it seemed to get a bit worse. he tried a double dose of valtrex for a week and no change.
He is so depressed and worried about it because nothing changes and he hurts badly every day. he has changed as a person and i am reaching out for any leads or help. I have suggested to him to be in valtrex for a much longer term period but he doesn't think it will help as he felt nothing before when he was on a double dose...
Vasectomy :: Pain - Natural Remedies
Around 15 years ago I had a vasectomy, which the next day hemorrhaged, requiring a second operation.
All was quiet down below until 9 years later from nowhere I had a nasty case of left side epidemiologist. 4 courses of antibiotics finally cleared that up, but left swollen epidermis and chronic pain. 18 months later the right side also became infected (you will know by the level of swelling).
Also at the same time I found that I had a mild bleeding disorder (hence the initial hemorrhaging), which meant I was banned from all NSAID's (Ibuprofen, naproxen etc)
After that period I had the all-to familiar chronic pain, for which I took increasing strength coedene and even tried acupuncture which did help a little.
All the same depressing story as other posts, except that 18 months ago I feel had a major breakthrough in life which I would like to share....
I knew that the main cause of the pain is inflammation, and given that I can't take NSAID's I researched what I could achieve by changing my diet.
The result has been fantastic, the pain is still there in the background but I don't have to notice it, and my swelling has gone down a lot. I have a very active sex life and still don't sink back into the abyss of pain.
If you are interested the following foods I would recommend in order of effectiveness.
1. High strength fish oil (buy the best you can afford)
2. Turmeric
3. Shiitake mushrooms
4. Broccoli
5. Green tea
6. Avocado
If I have a flare up every day I take a full dose of the fish oil, eat 60 grams of shiitake mushrooms (cooked with 1 tsp of turmeric). Also I will eat a whole broccoli a day & drink copious amounts of green tea. If is really bad I also include the avocado.
Menopause :: Hot Flashes - Natural Remedies?
