having sex after herpes outbreak

Suppressive Therapy and avoiding sex during an outbreak will lessen the risk but it is not any guarantee that it will not be transmitted in time .....

even though I am well aware that the virus can be transmitted at any time, outbreak or no. I talked to him about it and told him I was having an outbreak. I am guess I am praying for a miracle because we have always been so careful.

My anus has never been touched, penetrated, licked, or anything by my sexual partners so could the itch be related to an STD? When I went to the doctor she dismissed the possibility of me having herpes because she said that I would feel immense pain during the initial outbreak, is this the case? Thanks a lot for your time in helping me out, if you need any more information from me I will be happy to provide it.

Hi Grace is it okay for both partners who tested positive for herpes 1 and 2 to have unprotected sex? Is the virus spread in addition to sexual activities when there is an outbreak? In other wrods apart from having sex without protection with an infected person can one contract the disease only when one has an outbreak?

yea its been 16 weeks and im a hypochondriac.

If we have unprotected sex am I at risk of having the herpes spread to my genitals too? I don't know if this would be auto-inoculation as i wouldn't be spreading the herpes to myself but having intercourse with my girlfriend to whom i gave herpes to.

The same precautions you now take such as not having sex during an outbreak would be best. Also using suppressive therapy will help reduce the number of shedding of the virus during a non symptom breakout. The only other way I could think of would be IVF maybe.

I felt horrible and freaked out the next day, went and bought the Plan B pills. Then, a week after having sex I took a urine and blood test for stds. Everything came back negative. Now, almost a month after having sex, I'm having HORRIBLE pain when I urinate!! Instead of burning, it feels like a stabbing sort of pain. I felt something that feels like a "cut" possibly I'm not sure. When I wipe, I sometimes see a minimal trail of blood, but not in my urine.

I am currently in the midst of my first herpes outbreak and got it from someone who has never had an outbreak. Can I continue having sex with them after my outbreak is over or can I somehow stimulate them to have an outbreak?

No. HIV doesn't transfer via the mouth or lips, even with minor cuts or scrapes, or in this case, herpes sores. However, you shouldn't give someone oral sex while you're having an oral outbreak for SEVERAL reasons, including that you could give the other person herpes. Also, that would hurt SO bad if you had an outbreak on your lips and gave oral sex. There is literally no reason to do that when you have a herpes outbreak.

I contracted genital herpes when I was 21. No outbreaks until I was 54 and since then, several times a year. I use valacyclovir 500 mg a day and/or l-lysine 1500 mg (which I am afraid has been bringing on other symptoms - nausea, stomach pains). I've been married 30 years and my husband has NEVER contracted herpes. We've had oral sex right after an outbreak has disappeared, maybe a day or two healed. We've never had sex during an outbreak, of course, wouldn't want to.

I was recently diagnosed with Hsv2 genital herpes. I had an outbreak and had a positive swab and 2 mos later it showed up in my bloodwork positive. I was negative before this. I haven't had any sex partner in nearly 5 yrs prior to the outbreak and all partners were oral sex only. (Hsv2 I realize can't be contracted that way, it's very rare.) I had one sex partner for a few months leading up to this outbreak (only vaginal sex partner).

At this point you need to go and be seen and get a proper work up done. While there, ask your doctor if he typed your lesion culture that he did. If he didn't, then you need to get a type specific herpes igg blood test done to see which type(s) you have no your body. Your bf is also going to need to get a herpes blood test done too because you can't make educated decisions about what precautions to take together until you know who has what. Not all itching will be due to herpes.

Hi everyone. I was just diagnosed hsv2 positive about 3 weeks ago via a culture. 20 yrs ago I contracted herpes on my genitals from let's just say a casual hookup that went badly. Two days after I had a typical herpes outbreak and it was horrible and excruciating. I don't think they had blood testing back them and I am not sure if the culture even typed it or if I had a culture at all (or if it was diagnosed only from a physical exam).

Hi! I'm a male and after having condom-protected sex with an old girlfriend I hadn't seen for quite a few years I have become concerned about some possible STDs from the encounter. I should specify that I'm currently in a committed relationship... My question is whether whether there is any concrete risk of acquiring an STD from condom protected sex and receiving oral sex (also protected). She didn't have any signs of STDs looking closely at her vagina.

Also my first outbreak happened four months after a non-consent sex. The first time was not sever at all, I didn’t have flu-like symptoms and it’s just a wound at the labia I hurt myself with the period cup. And all my outbreaks are very minor like 1-2 sores after my genital was hurt by something. You might be even wondering whether what I have is herpes.

No sex is safe sex, even when protected! Herpes can be infectious without displaying symptoms(asymptomatic shedding of the virus).Condoms can't always cover the infected areas so it's never 100%. To be as safe as possible, make sure you use protection, condoms etc.. and that all sores have cleared up! It's also important to tell your partner/the person you will be having sex with so that they are informed! Good Luck! Mel.

My girlfriend has herpes , herpes type 2 genitally to be exact. She had one outbreak the whole time shes ever had herpes. That outbreak was 11 months ago and it was only 2 small bumps on her vagina. Shes never had any outbreaks since then. She takes her medicine everyday. So i was wondering if its safe to have sex with my girlfriend without using a condom?

Is it consistently after having sex, and only in the areas that you've had sex? Are you on suppression? Do you use condoms and/or lube? I ask because I'd wonder about an allergy or sensitivity.

Having first time symptoms average 3 to 13 days not 4 months. Does it appear your having a herpes outbreak from what you describe? No it does not. Since your sexually active, should you have a herpes test to confirm your status? Yes you should.
