advice, pretty preety please

Posted in Group: 

I havent been on here in so long because I've been genuinely happy with my new boyfriend. I've told him I have HSV and I sugarcoated the living day lights out of it with statistics and examples. But i still don't think he really grasps it because he's so young. With his acceptance we began having sex. ALOT. Always with a condom, no oral, and I always take my valtrex every day. But today I had my very first outbreak besides the awful initial one. We had sex last night. What can I tell him to put off having sex until this goes away? How long will it take to go away? and what are the chances I just gave my 17yr old boyfriend herpes. I've been being sooo careful, if I give it to him I'll seriously hate myself even more.

He already knows your secret so just tell him you think you may be having an outbreak and don't want to pass H along. Don't let him see your Vag he might freak..lol. Doctors will usually tell you to double your antivirals when your having an outbreak so ask your doctor if you should do that.

You could have given it to him because it may have been at the surface of your skin but I wouldn't freak unless he produces symptoms. Your outbreak may take anywhere from 3 days to a week to heal. I wouldn't have sex again until your scab is gone and new skin is there just to be safe.

You are having an outbreak this morning because you had sex last night. A lot of sex will provoke outbreaks. The solution is to use a lot of lub.

Like Sunflower said he knows your secret already so why come up with a false excuse.

You know what is the good thing about having this virus? Couples have to talk to each other! The one that carries the virus has to tell immediately when she has a little burning sensation, and the partner will understand. You can also share intimacy with your boyfriend without the intercourse.

If it takes 2 weeks for your outbreaks to go away and have sex again that will just be real good sex after a 2 week of wait....lol

That second outbreak could be mild and short. My second outbreak did not have sores, just a rash and a burning sensation and it lasted a 3 days.

Sometimes you just have to put your foot down and tell the guy, listen, I said no! lol. Be extra careful, no matter how much sex he wants, you know whats best. And things will get better, ( those outbreaks suck, but itll get better) Im sure he will understand. Guys are hard headed, but if he really cares about you Im sure he will get used to the whole thing.

well I hope so. Ag I know this sounds absolutely ridiculous and inappropriate and I feel so weird asking this but this isn't something I can just call my mom up about and I honestly think my doctor is a bitch. OKAY so, where does anal sex fall into all this. If Ive never had an outbreak there or anywhere really near there.....and he wants to try it is it safe...is it safer......contraction purposes

In the end everything works out....right?

The risk with anal sex is that he can carry the virus from your vagina to your anus. You should not have any sex at all when you have an outbreak especially anal sex because there are more chances of your skin breaking during anal penetration and if your skin breaks you will infect your anus 100% and you will start having outbreaks there as well as in your vagina.

When you do not have an outbreak and want to have anal sex he should always use condoms and if he wants to go from vagina to anus it would be better for him to change condom........I know, I know, I know...It's a pain in the neck! ( I meant to say it's a pain in the @ss but...lol)

safe to try it...unless you are in an outbreak. same rules apply. but as jane said...be careful not to transfer bacteria from backdoor to front door! lol. can cause bacterial vaginosis and or uti. no...guys dont get that...but its true. if you choose not to use condom make sure u dont go back into the vagina before cleaning off. and like we tol ya...no question off limits! and you should know by now i'll answer anything! lol

lol god I love you guys. okay another cool question from the baby of the support group Herpes. Last night he asked me if he wanted to could he have sex wiht me without a condom. I told him we should wait longer because we havent been dating that long, and then he goes....Well I mean Ive had coldsores before babe. Although im not proud of his late decision to be honest because i went through hell telling him early, i am a little relieved, doe he have any resistence against hsv-2

In the end everything works out....right?
