Hello everyone,
First sorry for bringing this topic over and over again. I got diagnosed with HSV-1 a couple of weeks back and am still in “my life’s over” phase. So, bare with me
Details :
I am not sure where I have it. It’s something that I acquired recently. Probably a couple of weeks back [I had a full STD check last year and eveything was clear]. There was a good make out session and also I had unprotected oral sex.
Now to the questions
1) Its been 4.5 weeks. I had cold/flu like symptoms after week 2. Thats why I got tested in the first place. I have no visible outbreak symptoms at either place - No blisters, sores. I am having this itching sensation at my anus region. But I have been getting that even before this - so probably a bacterial infection ?
2) if I am in the category who gets their primary outbreak after an infection, how long does it usually take to get one ? I am talking about the average ? Not the range
3) For people with no severe outbreak or no outbreak at all, is it reasonable to say that they are more immune to herpes and so comparatively less asymptotic shedding
5) Can I just assume I get cold sores (a better way to put it for my peace of mind) for now, since location is not finalized ?
4) Now to the ethical question - I know its a huge debate. So, I don't want a single persons opinion here. From what I see, Medical community is fine with not disclosing on certain cases from a pure medical standpoint (provided all precautions taken). I could be wrong here.
So, it would be great if someone can point me to a Poll or reply with the results of a poll here
I am someone who finds it difficult to talk to girls. That itself makes finding a girl very difficult for me. Now if you add that ethical part, it almost zero chance of meeting a girl that would accept me. :(
