About this video:
Here’s the deal. I’m going over this so that you can have more information and use this to educate your partners or give you answers to your diagnosis. It really doesn’t matter what type you have nor does it matter where you have it. Yes there's a HUGE stigma about having geniatl herpes but at the end of the day it’s herpes.

Thank you. My sister is a nurse and said 90% of people have hsv1, so her clinic doesn't even test for it unless someone ask... I didn't have an outbreak, but my doc just tested me for sti's and that came back positive. I was totally freaking out until I did some research and talked to my sister and now your RU-vid video... thank you again.

It's nearly impossible to avoid oral herpes. If you wear a mask your entire life and you do not kiss, touch or speak too closely to someone you might have a chance of not getting it.

I’m a little confused🥺 Yesterday I found out I tested positive for HSV-1 but not HSV-2. So does that mean I got it most likely from kissing someone? And is there any way to pin point who we got it from? I had sex with someone new 3 weeks ago and went and got tested 2 weeks after the sex. Can it even show up that soon if I got it from THAT person? I do remember my baby’s father had a cold sore on his lip but that was a year ago and I joked about herpes and he got kinda mad and said he just get the cold sores when it’s cold. So now I’m thinking could I’ve gotten it from HIM a year ago or maybe I’ve had it for a long time and actually maybe gave it to him

@lifewithherpes 3 года назад

HSV1 can be both oral (cold sores) or genital herpes. There's no way of knowing where exactly you got it from, unless all people you've ever kissed or had sex with, would test negative, but one. Herpes can stay dormant in your body for years.

So, you can try Western blot test. Especially if your values were really low, you can see if you really have it with this test. It's the most accurate, but your insurance won't usually cover it. Also, it is possible you got it from kissing somebody else, or an aunt with HSV kissed you when you were a kid, or something silly like that. You can potentially get it from drinking after someone with it, or small things like that. It is a very common virus.

You can surely control your outbreaks with diet, stress, sleep, supplements and antivirals, but it never disappears. The best you can do - and it does happen to some people- they would lower their antibodies to the point where herpes is not detectable anymore, but sadly, it doesn't mean it's gone.

Its not easy to deal with because I know ppl who have it (women) and it seem extremely stressful, painful and damaging on self esteem, on the mind & the body. As a whole we should do better. I wish you luck!!!

The fact that it can kill you makes it absurd that cdc doesnt even want to test it because it might be stressful they say

You’re all wrong, sexual practices such as oral sex have become far more common, hence HSV1 has migrated to the genital regions. She didn’t explain it very well, it didn’t just magically migrate, it was due to oral sex.

For maybe 5 years I've had lip zits doctors assumed were zits. After a recent seggy encounter same day I had a scare. Positive for hsv1 only. Now we have to figure out if the scare downstairs is the hsv or a clogged pore from my body reacting to a new partner bacteria and the friction OR if the mouth sores is the hsv1! Doctors need to do better as this stuff spreads! I don't wish being life long contagious on anyone.

@MikeL0084 7 месяцев назад

In your opinion how likely is it to have contracted HSV2 during one five minute sexual encounter? Thank you.

@lifewithherpes 7 месяцев назад

If the person had an active outbreak, then very likely. If not, then the chances are about 1-5% in general. The amount of time doesn't really play a role.

Hello! I smoked from a bong (hooka) with 3 other guys, I know it was stupid cuz I didn't know them, but now I'm concerned if I could get herpes from smoking from a bong, you know I put my lips in the bong where 3 strangers put their lips too now I'm worrying about contracting oral herpes... is it that easy to get it like that from other people? Even if they didn't have any cold sores or blemishes? I also didn't have any cuts or nothing on my lips but im afraid that if any of them have had herpes in the past but they don't have any cold sores or nothing now i could still get it if they left a little saliva in the mouth piece and i touch it with my lips, Or does it needs to be a lot of saliva from the infected person for me to get it? , is it enough just to touch with my lips the mouth piece to get it? Thanks?

@lifewithherpes 3 года назад

If one or more or them actually did have herpes and were just shedding (please see viral shedding), you can catch it the way you described. But the chances are low and you don't even know if they have herpes, it seems.

@livingchilling2217 3 года назад

@@lifewithherpes thanks for the answer+! 🙏 You are right, idk if any of them actually had any herpes , im just assuming what if they have it? Then I started overthinking on the possibility of me catching it and transmit it to my wife , kinda feel bad because I feel im labeling them and who knows if im the one who passed it to them 🤷‍♂️ but since I've never ever have had a breakout in my 34 years of life, I'm assuming I have nothing, but now i know it could be diferent...they might not be thinking the same about me, or panicking about them sharing the mouthpiece bong with me, they 3 are friends and I was the strager⁰...( also since I've had more than one GF in the past and my wife obviously has a past, ive also shared drinks or a straw in the past, i imagine the same with my wife, im thinking I might have the Virus but never ever had a breakout 🤔) This topic is kinda confusing when talking about transmission, I thought that if I didn't see any cold sores in the mouth of the person im sharing with, there wasn't going to be any problem, but apparently there is! I guess i just got me another fobia, about sharing anything that touches my mouth.. I might be overthinking tho! I will endup getting a blood test and see what are the results, you are the 3rd youtuber (I asked two doctors) that knows about this topic to tell me I shouldn't be worry about, that there was a risk but really really low. Thanks for your answer, let me know if you think anything else about what i just share with you! 🙏🙏🙏

@heartsrlovable 2 года назад

@@livingchilling2217 I overthink a lot too but the best thing to do it at least give 2 weeks and go get a blood specified test for both types of herpes. I would inform the doc you shared something with three other people a couple weeks and want to be sure

If I get cold sores and one day I would like to have a family. Will I not be able to kiss my baby?

@radiant2052 4 года назад

I have the same concerns! I think it is best to avoid kissing infants (their weak immune systems can't handle the virus and they could die from infection) and to avoid kissing older babies on the lips.

@survivingtherionmitchell 2 года назад

I would not. You can transmit it even without having an outbreak

I do have a question My cousins wife’s younger sister has type 2 but a cold sore was present last yr She got her tested and she was positive Now to my question there was a mix up with a 🪥 that she use which was mines. I used it once when the situation was spoken about We all knew to watch our stuff because she is bipolar and she taking schizophrenic meds So it was by accident that she use my toothbrush But with that history that happened a few days ago Should i be worried she didn’t have sore or nothing 🤷‍♂️

If you have brushed your teeth in a short time after she has been using it, it's possible, however, not very likely.

The outbreak will go away on it's own. You can use different products or medicine. Of course, you will probably get more outbreaks through the years.

So, i had bloodwork done and the lady that called and told me i have hsv1 oral herpes of the mouth and she pretty much told me to.google it. The reason i went to the doc if because i have been having bumps all over down there and it would not go away and was painful itchy and some look like white heads but idk if its genital herpes :( i havent had sex with another person over three years. I call my doc office for a call back and they were suppose to call within 72 hrs and its been over five days. It just stressful not knowing if its genital herpes

@lifewithherpes 2 года назад

Hi, so sorry to hear that. If you have active sores, we'd suggest you to ask for a swab test. That's how you will see if what you're experiencing is genital herpes. However, if they're already drying up, the test would most likely come back negative. Otherwise, hsv1 can be genital herpes. It's not uncommon, but it is usually referred to as oral herpes, which can be confusing.

@heartsrlovable 2 года назад

@@lifewithherpes I ended up going to my gynecologist today and she said it definitely is not herpes down there I havent been experiencing any bumps other than my pubic area and hasn't been painful to sit down she said it is folliculitis which is self inflicted on my part. This make more sense since i havent had sex with anyone to have a breakout down there i know it could happen years later but i do get cold sores around the mouth or inside my mouth like i have a little bump under my lip and one near my wisdom in the back which could be the oral herpes

@annyakamel Год назад

Is hsv1 in the genital area life threatening if it goes untreated? Or is it just painful and that is all to it? This has been a question I have had for so long hope you can help! Thanks🤍

@lifewithherpes Год назад

No, herpes is not lifethreatening. You can manage it without medication, it may just take longer to heal. However, there are many people that do not use antivirals. Your body is totally capable of dealing with it on its own.
