Avatar m tn It was a little rough and I have been told that friction during sex can irritate tissues and bring about an outbreak ... so I am praying that somehow the outbreak happened after the fact, and that there were no lesions during the actual act ... 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.

Avatar f tn ve had the discussion with him and we understand the risks associated when preventative measures are taken - not having sex during an outbreak, condom use, anti-viral treatment for suppression. We had our first sexual encounter 2 days ago. We didn't use a condom (shakes head at the irresponsibility of self) and I didn't realize that the friction associated with intercourse was a personal outbreak trigger - it being my first partner and all.
Avatar n tn 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 .....
Avatar m tn what is the chances of passing it to my partner if I had sex with a condom and sex without a condom during an outbreak?? thanks Grace!
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn At around 7am on the Monday , I ended up being very sick later that day and was signed off work for a few days . Around 36 hours after sex I started having outbreak symptoms but no blisters (pains in the groin) , very little sleep and no appetite so I was very run down. A few hours later two small blisters appeared. My questions are 1) Could the sex and then being sick and run down have caused the outbreak ?
Avatar n tn Since you are female with male partners, if all you did was avoid sex during an outbreak, then there is about a 4% chance that your partner would get it from you over the course of a year (assuming a monogomous, long term relationship). If you decided to take suppressive therapy, such as daily valtrex or acyclovir, it would be about a 2% chance. You have about the same odds of getting pregnant on the pill, and those are better odds than not getting pregnant when using condoms.
Avatar f tn No the baby's daddy slept with someone who told him she had it she wasn't having an outbreak. But he refused to wrap it.
Avatar f tn If both partners have hsv-1, can you have sex before an outbreak or during one? I keep reading that you can’t get it in another area of your body if you have it on one place already but yet everywhere says not to have sex if you’re having an outbreak. Does it matter if both people are positive? I’m only 4 months into a diagnosis of genital hsv-1. May partner is asymptomatic hsv-1 and gave it to me (he’s the only partner I’ve had).
Avatar n tn t realize i was having an outbreak when i had vaginal intercourse until after the fact. we had sex more than once in a 24 hour period of time and i only have 1 blister, which i believe had already burst prior to contact (i thought it was an ingrown hair). i have been looking online for statistics, but i can't find anything with regards to the percentage of risk of having infected my male partner. i realize that one cannot say for sure, but a ballpark figure would be helpful.
Avatar n tn ( I was diagnosed with herpes in that exact place a few years ago and I normally have one or two outbrakes a year whilst feeling very run down ) I never normally have any sexual contact during an outbreak. I am now worried I had the soars there whilst we had sex without me noticing them. He's penis was touching my anus and rubbing against it a few times before the condom was on during foreplay. My worry is that I might have got some precum into the soar!!!
Avatar m tn There is much conflicting data about HSV2 transmission during protected sex. What are my chances of contracting HSV2 if I am a male having protected vaginal sex with a CSW? She was on top for about 60 seconds and then the sex continued with her on bottom. There was very minimal genital rubbing and the condom did not break. The encounter was approximately 7 days ago.
Avatar m tn You have a condition called Herpes Gladiatorum which is caused by the HSV1 virus due to skin to skin contact with an infected person this is quite common amongst wrestlers and in close contact Sportsmen and is contagious so you must ensure that no skin to skin contact is made with anyone when you are having an outbreak,you might want to talk to your Doctor about Suppressive Therapy with antviral mediation to reduce your outbreaks.
Avatar f tn I was tested about two months before we broke up and came back clean, we had sex maybe twice before we broke up (I kept having yeast infections before my period until I changed my diet, but even now I'm still prone to them). There was also one time when we had sex and he thought he had healed from an outbreak but the next day it came back! I am now freaking out, it's been about 5 almost 6 months since I last had sex with him.
Avatar n tn If all you do is avoid sex during an outbreak, he has a 4% chance of getting it a year, or a 96% chance of not getting it. If you take the antivirals, then it drops to 2%, or a 98% chance. Those are some pretty good odds, ya know? I have hsv2, and I couldn't be with someone who was freaked out to have sex with me. Has he even tested to know if he has it or not?
Avatar n tn We have not had been having sex since his outbreak, I told him I wanted to be sure if this is a new or old infection since his behavior in our relationship has made me supsectful of him cheating. We talk and hang out but no sex right now until I see if he has really changed.
