Confued
Hi my doctors just told me today that I have Herepes 1 and don't really know how to fel about it. I don't know if its denial or what. And then I a million questions too. What is Herpes 1? Whats the difference between Herpes 1 and 2. What should I do next. And then kinda think my doctor diagnose me wrong but then again that could be my denial showing up. PLEASE help me, what should I DO?
ulcers in the mouth are usually just plain ole canker sores. they are very common and not infectious.
honestly not everything is a std :)

No there has been no symptoms except I had an ulcer in my mouth which lead me to get tested in the begining. But I thought it was syphillis I mean I was almost 100% sure it was. I did my research on the internet and looked at pictures and it looked more like syphillis than herpes. I guess I turned out to be wrong:( But my doctore said the ulcer had nothing to do with herpes. So as that being said was wrong? But can herpes be disdiagnois as syphillis?
Like to thank you again for all your help got alot of insight of on things. I would like to congarduate you again on your engagment.
just a blood test that is hsv1+ and you can't recall symptoms either orally or genitally usually indicates that your hsv1 is oral. most folks who have hsv1 orally, don't get obvious cold sores to know that they are infected.

Yeah I guess some of it is common sense I never thought of it that way. Having any form of hsv is not a big deal its just something you learn to cope with otherwise I don't even think about having it all but of course I'm in a committed relationship I would prolly think about it more if I was still on the dating scene though. But even then you prolly wouldn't be passionately kissing someone when you have a cold sore and everyone should be using protection when being intimate anyways so I guess you would just have to stick to those "common sense" things more so then in the past if thats the case. So if you think about it your life changes are minimal. Sorry if I'm rambling just thinking out loud. :)
Sorry it took so long to get back to you but I'm currently engaged and at some point one of us gave the hsv2 to eachother so we both have it we just abstain from sex during an outbreak which is similar with hsv1 outbreak you abstain from "passionate" kissing and as far as I'm aware you your kids can eat after you but probably not a good idea when you have cold sore(s) present. I'm no expert its just what I have gathered from my reading.
Thank you sooo much it helped alot. Im learnig to deal with it because its going to be with me for the rest of my life. I just need to take a breather and relax and be ok with it.
Well she really didn't give me too much information about it but what I do know is it was done by a blood test.
let's start at the beginning a bit :) How were you diagnosed as having hsv1? do you have it orally or genitally or were you just + for it on a blood test?

sorry I miss typed in my previous post. Receiving Oral sex you shouldn't have a problem but giving oral sex you may give it to your partner. This is of course giving the fact ur other partner isn't infected.
relax. I understand how stressing it can be. However, what i can tel you is in USA approx 80% of people has HSV1. I am not an expert but what i can tell you from the huge reading I done cuz I had and still have doubt that i have HSV2 is that you HSV1 you can get it from oral sex or even kissing.. If you have HSV1. I would overall think the probabilitiy you give someone HSV1 is low if you were careful (avoid kissing) when you have outbreaks. having vaginal or anal sex if you have HSV1 shouldn't ideally matter. Giving Oral sex should also matter but receiving oral sex you may put your partner at risk of giving her/him that.
this is really all what I know but as I said I am not a docotr or expert it is just matter of hours and hours in the last few months of reading the internet.
At least you know what you have I dont know as I am too scared to know :). So relax and be happy with your life.

Ok glade to hear that. So what about dating and dating with sex involed. How do you manage that or you just stop having it all together? And since its oral should I not let my kids eat after me and should I not kiss them? I know it probally sounds stupid so sorry for it. Thank you so muh for your support really appreciate it.:)
I have hsv2 and I just take one day at a time I'm on supressive therapy to help with out breaks otherwise life is the same and still wonderful :). If you need someone to talk to just message me.
