I wouldn't worry about this at all .
have you read the free herpes handbook yet? also Terri's book "the good news about the bad news" is available on amazon for under $20 and goes into more details than her handbook does.
thanks for the quick reply grace it was a tiny cut that is a few days old and on the front of the hand didnt realise till afterwards and was concerned then, do u think there is a big chance of it being infected now ? he doesnt have gh ,, also can u give me a link to a page or some info on how not to transmit to a new partner maybe where questions have been answered im gonna make an appointment with the specialist for us both to talk but until then id like some honest facts to show him x thanks grace x
when you have an open cut, cracked skin or bitten finger nails, you shouldn't be manually stimulating a partners genital area no matter what their std status. The opening in the skin is a risk for infection for them from what is usually normal bacteria in the genital area plus any bacteria in the open cut, can cause issues in the genital area.
Hey Grace just a quick question, if my partner has a cut on the front of his finger and he uses that hand for masturbating me can he get gh on his hand in the cut even if i dont have sores ?
thanks again x
thanks for the well wishes :) looking to make some major changes in my life so I need them!!!
best of luck :)
thanks grace, you sound like my mammy lol ;0) just sometimes u need to hear it from someone else... tbh i was SHOCKED to hear when he said he had it then it came bk that they just asked him bk in for the results, so i feel and pray deep down he doesnt have it ... just wish i knew so i could be comfortable with having another relationship without passing it on... but life goes on.. wish it wasnt such a big deal GH and that it was just as "normal" to the outside world as coldsores !! so not fair ! but life isnt fair eh! im ready to move on now and with your help its taken a massive weight off my shoulders...
i dont worry about the other issues i think its just coming from stress etc because as soon as i told the dr recently that i havent had an "outbreak" and the burning sensation travelling around my body had practically disappeared, a week later i get it bk ! #stress !!?? i reckon so... but ive had my hormones all my bloods and bacterial yeast and sti/d testing done and im all good so god only knows .. but as long as i know the risk is small to a male partner i can somewhat relax..
Once again THANK YOU GRACE !
You deserve a medal for all the patience and understanding you have with people like myself lol...
i wish you every luck and success in your life and hopefully {in a positive way} i wont have to speak to you again for a very long time :O)
XXXXXX .
find a different clinic that is aware of pcr swabbing of skin to help you better. sounds like this clinic isn't willing to work with you to figure out just what is going on. do you have a decent gyn you see? Getting some decent cultures might help you and your provider better figure out what is herpes and what isn't.
herpes prodromes won't go as far up as your breast. this is certainly something worth looking into more for you. The breast area is a whole different set of nerves that genital herpes doesn't infect and neither does oral herpes.
best of luck getting to the bottom of all of this!
