So i really need this outbreak to end quick. I would like to have sex soon 😁. It's not my first outbreak but it's the first one am cognizant of (my initial outbreak I thought I had switched soaps or something) I have GHSV1. I tried coconut oil it made it worse. I'm trying Apple cider vinegar and it's making the legions white. Is that good of bad? I don't know what healing looks like for me.

When it comes to having a herpes outbreak, you need to put your penetrative sexual needs on the back burner until it is gone.  Patience is a virtue and healing those babies needs sufficient time.  We would all like to have sex in a fast fashion after an outbreak, but protecting your partner is more important than getting off.  So please make sure you’re all healed and aren’t jumping the gun!  I know it’s frustrating…

I’ve heard that drinking apple cider vinegar also helps and I have tried this to know it surprisingly worked much more than I thought it would.  I put one to two teaspoons per every cup of water and drank away.

Drink lots of water, get plenty of rest, and if you want those suckers gone ASAP, antivirals are the only things that are going to light speed you to recovery.  Coconut oil for me is what I use to moisturize the already broken sore when it needs to kind of flake off and develop new, healthy skin (Much like if you scraped your elbow falling, catch my drift?).  

Outbreaks and healing look different to everyone, but just know that any change in appearance you see is basically the healing process.  From the moment you start outbreaking, your body is already trying to heal and get rid of it.  Be patient, keep the stress down low, wear loose clothing, drink water, take your antivirals, and you’ll be good to go in no time.

I don’t know if you would actually reject someone with an STI. Humor me for a minute. Imagine you’re on a great third date with a girl you are wild about. She’s funny and sweet and her hair does this weird curly thing that you find charming as hell. You’re walking her to the subway when she goes quiet, her hand shaking slightly in yours. She says she has something to tell you. She has herpes, and she hopes this doesn’t change how you see her because she really likes you. There are ways you can be safe—condoms help prevent transmission, and she takes a daily pill to bring that risk of transmission down even further. Is it a deal-breaker for you? She isn’t a Facebook post or a sensational headline. She’s the girl you were really starting to like a whole damn lot, and she’s standing right in front of you.

Dear Internet Commenters Who Really Don’t Want Herpes (via brosandprose)

“You’ve probably been taught to reserve the language of love for when you’re feeling overwhelmingly tender and passionate, and only for those who have made huge commitments to you. We recommend instead learning to recognize and acknowledge all the sweet feelings that make life worthwhile, even when they don’t knock you over; and moreover, learning to communicate those feelings to the people who inspire them.”

Let’s Be Sharks

I subscribe to @kellysue​‘s Bitches Get Stuff Done text thingy (you can find archives here and how to sign up here) and it’s proven time and time again to really motivate me when I’m about to hit a slump.  Or in the middle of one.  Or wallowing in self pity.  You know, like you do.

But this week she’s been calling us “little sharks” and encouraging us to take everything one bite at a time and the more I think about it, the more apt this comparison is.

Sharks are:

vital to their ecosystems

far more diverse than the monolith they are presented as

vilified and sensationalized by the media

suffer because of how they’re viewed

blamed for things they have nothing to do with

proven to often respond to be gentle despite all the lies about them (boop the snoot!)

fucking powerful and awe inspiring

get better with age

endangered

You know what else is all of those things? Women.

I’m a motherfucking shaaaaarrrrrrrrkk.*  Let’s be sharks together.

Don't give up on yourself! Hold on tight, my dear!

Hi there! I’m 23, and I learnt that I had Herpes2 for 4 months now, and I have been struggling alone all these times. It’s true that the stigma is actually worse than the physically pain that herpes causes. It’s tough for me for the fact that I got it from the first man I ever slept with. We were together for 6 months, had unprotected sex for the first few times. I then asked him upfront about his sexual health, and he said he was clean. Since then I had irritation on genital area (itchy and discharge), but never had a clear symptom of herpes. One month after we split up, I had what I considered as my first symptom (just one blister down there.) 5 months later, the symptom appeared again with a few blisters. That’s when I really freaked out and was diagnosed with herpes2. I told the man about this and as I expected, he fully denied and raised up all other possible ways that I could get infected from, besides him, like toilet seats or blood transmission. I already had a hard time getting over the break-up, and now the man, who I trusted and loved, showed no responsibility and empathy at all over the pain he potentially caused on me. I feel so betrayed and hurt. Like people say, “be careful with what/who you wish for, because you might just get it!”. I had a few OB after being diagnosed. I went to the clinic for treatment for the first two times, but then I gave up because I feel like even the doctor was also judgemental about my infection. I started taking Vitamin E and Lysine regularly for nearly a month. I don’t know if it works, but i’m praying! There are times that I thought of committing suicide. The thought scared the hell out of me. But i’m whispering this to myself everyday, “I know it’s hard, and you feel like you’re broken pieces. Let’s pick up those piece and move forward. I’m holding my broken heart and soul tightly and i’m moving on. The rest of the world might abandon me, but i’m not going to give up on myself! *LOVE*

Please don’t hurt yourself over a medical diagnosis as common and non-threatening as herpes. You still have so much to experience and so many people to meet. I promise you that you can and will get through this. Right now you’re in a swirling, turbulent ocean that feels like it’s about to drown you but you’re treading water. Even if it’s barely, you’ve still got your head above water. As time passes and the swells become less frequent, you’ll start floating and before you know it you’ll be swimming. You just have to let the ocean swirl around you until it calms down, which it will, I promise.

I am Sofia, a resident of Manhattan, New York. On my 18th birthday party, I met a guy at the local club and we connected like we had known each other for years http://www.herpesdating123.com/a-new-start-after-herpes/

[stylelikeu]

“I was the editor for my college’s sex magazine and I participated in hookup culture and had some one-night stands. I explored my sexuality and did what I wanted. At a party, I met a guy who was super charismatic, sexy, funny, and brilliant. I fell hard for him. We started seeing each other. Three weeks later, I woke up with an outbreak of genital herpes. My first thought was, `I just met this amazing person and I’m going to loose him because there is no way a young relationship can survive this.` I turned to Google (which you shouldn’t do, but everybody does) and everything was like genital herpes. I desperately wanted it to be anything else: maybe I cut myself shaving 8 or 9 times, maybe it’s chlamydia. But the student doctor took one look at me and said, ‘This looks like herpes.’ It was a gut punch that threw me into a real identity crisis. When I called my mom, she immediately smacked that out of me. She wanted me to know that I was ok, her and my dad supported me and loved me to death. The only person who was not great about it was the guy I was seeing. He called me a whore. He said, ‘This is what I get for falling for a girl like you.’ But I excused his behavior, and that was the beginning of a very emotionally abusive relationship. Because I was a sex editor, the assumption was that I had given him herpes and that he was so wonderful for not leaving me. Whenever he did something shitty, it came back to what a great guy he was for not leaving me. I was having super awkward conversations with my exes and I learned that they had all tested negative. I realized that there was no way herpes could’ve laid dormant in my body for months. I remember standing at an intersection and saying to my boyfriend, ‘You might have given this to me.’ He said, ‘That’s possible,’ then he barged across the street. That was the end of that conversation. As time went on, I saw my relationship from the outside and how much I had lost my voice. That was the clarity I needed to finally leave. I walked away and I never looked back.“ – Ella Dawson in our new episode of the #WhatsUnderneath Project 💪💪💪 For Ella’s full story, watch her video

Fun fact: I’d been saving that bra/undies set for a special occasion for like five years.

I feel so weary tonight. I’ve been working myself to the bone, and overthinking everything. I feel needy and a bother to everyone, and I hate it. I feel tired and anxious and out of sorts. I’m feeling insecure about my relationship-not-relationships and I don’t know what to do about it. I find myself going through these cycles in which I’m super confident in what I’m doing, and then just as quickly I feel like a train wreck. I’m just going to go to bed early and hope there’s no sad dreams tonight.

How has your STD alter your life?

I know many of us have been taught on STD's/STI's and there causes and preventions. We have been taught what they are and how to protect oursleves from them. We have seen the pictures, read the pamplets, been taught by our guidance councilars,parents and have been privy to the wealth of information on the subject. Yet many have still fallen victims to these diseases despite the abundace of information on the matter.

Why is that the case though?  Is it just likely that we will at sometime in our lives be afflicted with some form of std, being that we are sexual beings?

like you I had been educated on the subject of std's. I had knowledge of prevention methods and how to protect my self,yet here I am afflicted. One thing I have learned though is that no amount of sexual education can prepare you for the life changing circumstanecs brought on by these diseases. Which only after being afflicted you then realise. it affects not only your health but relationships, marriage, prospects of marriage, fertility, social interaction, self-esteem, peae of mind and general well being.

HSV-1 or HSV-2

Hsv 1 and 2 means more than just their location. There is a difference.  If you actually get blood work done the doctor will tell you either have hsv 1 or 2.

Locations are seen through outbreaks. Then, confirmed through culture samples, which class they are.  It doesn't tell you if you have both strains. Due to your specific outbreak. Blood test confirms this.

Let's say you have hsv 1 mouth region. You meet someone with hsv2 mouth region they are not the same. And both are very contagious.

If you have a question about herpes, free to ask the counselor of Positivesingles.com

How to know your herpes type?

Hi ALL,

Ah, without a blood test you are just guessing.  I have a confirmed case of Type 2.

Type 1 can be in the genital area and Type 2 can appear around the mouth and the other way around too.  It all depends upon the results of the blood test.

Trust me, the doctors have seen and heard it all.  

When I was growing up, it was not uncommon for a woman to have a "cold sore"  or "fever blister" when she was "stressed" or when she was on/in her period.  

I am not attempting to reduce the importance of our infection.  As we know, it is just another 'fact of life' for us.

Considering all the other possibilities, herpes is a inconvience.

Plus, take this with a bit of humor, it makes a fantastic "excuse" for not having sex with person we might meet in a 'out of the way' place.   I know that excuse works.  I have used that excuse.  LOL  Of course there is that real possibility, we might meet up with some of the, at least, 4 in 10 folks.  Then, you have to come up with another excuse.

I was talking to a girl at my college today and she told me that she was "worried because mouth herpes is apparently spreading rampant around our school and she'd die if she got it". This really annoyed me because I have both oral and genital herpes, and I wanted to use this as a chance to educate her, but I chickened out because I didn't want her to judge me. Do you have any tips for effectively spreading HSV knowledge to ignorant people so that the next time this happens I can be prepared?

Ask her what type of flowers she’d like for you to bring to her funeral when she catches it 💗

Herpes is a skin-to-skin spreading virus. Skin to skin only, not from sharing drinks, swimming pools ect…
