herpes simplex virus 2

is there ever going to be a cure for  genital herpes ? if the normal medication doesn't work what are the other options ?

we could guess until the proverbial cows come home about him and we'd still be getting nowhere.  if he did test + for genital herpes, the clinic is not going to bug him repeatedly - they really don't care to be honest. If he isn't bothered and coming back for help, they have no reason, nor do they have the time, to hold his hand and encourage him to be a big boy and come back to deal with all of this better.  

overall the risk of transmission of hsv2 to a male partner is incredibly small.  since you have multiple issues going on it sounds like, getting to the bottom of all of it is your main concern at this point since I can't imagine you feel very sexy with your nether regions acting up on a regular basis :(

i know its just so hard to understand,  do you think the clinic would keep onto him if they thought he was infected ?? i havent had much contact but he has never said they re rang him to come bk in etc and i presume they would ? or maybe not i dnt know :o/ i know its not my problem now but i feel as though it is and dont feel i can have another comfortable relationship without passing it to every guy im in a relationship wit now !

Thank you Grace.. #angel !! xx

indeed you can have genital herpes and also have other issues going on. being seen every time you have symptoms by your gyn hopefully will help you get to the bottom of things. perhaps they can work with a dermatologist to finally figure what all is going on.

he's an ex. if he's trying to make his anger make you feel guilt, ignore him. if he choses not to be seen regularly to find out what is going on - that's his issue not yours. just one more reason to know that you ended the relationship for a good reason!  if he does have genital herpes, he can have a family and live a completely normal life.  

herpes is not transmitted through mutual masturbation.

hey grace, things i feel did improve still get sorness but after a chat with my sister she informed me that she suffers similar but its vaginal psoriasis but i dunno im confused because i thought that was dry skin not splits like i feel. anyhow the main reason im bk on is because i broke up with my long term partner of 2 n half yrs 6months ago, hes saying i gave him GH but i find it hard to believe him we were soooo carful bar one or two slips wen i was drunk but he used to tell me he wanted to get it so we could have a normal relationship and a baby, this is not what i wanted as we were not secure enough to have  a child ! he tells me he went to the clinic and when they rang with results they wouldn give them over the phone and told him to come in, he was tested with me awhile bk and he says he got no phone call because he was clear or so thats what the dr said , that she wouldnt ring if he was clear, basicallly i just want to know if he had GH would the clinic continue to contact him to come bk or would they just leave it ?? he tells me hes had sores and his penis has swelled etc i dont know what to do because he wont go bk for the results if he even went at all, plus there are alot of males in his family ie his dad who has cancer and an uncle that passed away so i worry there could be more to it than GH :o( i have to contact with him i have no contact with him since only an incident at the wknd which landed me in hospital with a bust lip he tells me hel never be able to have kids because of me and that ive ruined his life.. i really feel and hope he doesnt have it as in the previous msg the specialist on GH  explained that what i was experiencing wasnt GH and the only outbreak that was certain to be GH  we def did NOT have sex at  this time !!

Also i wanted to know if GH lives on vaginal fluid outside the body if you have no symptoms at the time ie if fore play occurs with me  from another guy then he  touches his genitals can he get GH this way ??

THANKS X

went to the infectious diseases specialist on the 21st of April, she was very confident that what i was experiencing on a regular basis every month was not herpes and that the burning is not herpes, she put me on Valtrex for 6 months and a steriod cream called canasten and some other stuff for fungal infections,i need to go back to my GP now to figure out what exactly is causing the burning sensation if its not herpes, although i do have the virus she says it will always come back in the same place ie to the front and not the back where ive been experiencing soreness she reckons the symptoms i had in the front the last time i got swabbed was and came back positive for herpes so thats obvious but i cant believe that what ive been going through for the last yr been so worried and extremely cautious was not herpes i do feel happier about this and knowing also now that its practically impossible for me to be resistant to the Valtrex as im the "normal" patient ie i dont have HIV or Aids or any other stds. although the first ten mins of my time with the dr made me feel id wasted my time again with some one who doesnt believe the symptoms im having feel identical to the herpes episode but now im coming to terms with the fact that she is the SPECIALIST and not ME ! Im gonna take things easy now and not stress every time i feel a twinge or soreness but to put my mind at rest i def need to find out what the flashes of burning around my body are, but thats just because im over cautious and paranoid person as ive had family members die because they were too brave to go to the dr. ok sorry for the long winded msg but i just wanted to check back and thank you for all your help and support at this time its been a great help to me and helped me cope, im going to stay away from dr GOOGLE from now on and stick to the professionals, once again thank you and your team for all the great work ye do! xxxx
