Herpes Doctor

I am twenty years old after yesterday, i was diagnois with gential herpes at the age of 19. I caught it when my partner didn't have any signs of it....by the way he didn't know he had it...when i told him i caught it from him he denied it and said it was me who had it...than he dumped me...i've had a tough time dealing with this problem...i can't except that i'm living with this forever and that my life is different now....it's nort fair...by the way i did use a condem too...i don't know how to take it ...i'm stress and always cry myself to sleep at night....is this how my life will be for now on??

My boyfriend went down on me about 4 days ago. He had a cold sore on the side of his mouth. I now have 3 red bumps around my vagina. Could this be herpes? I also have a yeast infection right now...this is the first boyfriend/sexual partner I have had. What should I do? Please help!

Ijust went to get tested for herpes.I'm waiting for the test results, but looking at my sores and researching online, makes me pretty sure thats its herpes. Has anyone used choraphor? I'm tempted to try it, but should I wait for results of test first? I went to planned parenthood and they send out to lab. They said it migt take up to two weeks! I want to try someting before tat to deal wit the discomfort. It has helped me to not drink coffee and drink lots of water. anybody tried choraphor?

I am very lonley and if anyone has postive insight i would love to hear it!I I just found out on halloween of 2005 this year. This site is my 1st little bit of hope I have had in a week. Denial and blame and anger and shame and just plain feeling gross and nasty! I cant get it off my damn mind!

I recently drank after someone who had
herpes simplex virus and i found out
about a second after i drank after him.
I was hoping someone could tell me the
chances I have of getting this virus
from drinking after him (it was a dr.pepper
if that makes any difference) I talked
to my Dr.'s Asst. and she said it's likely
I will get it, the national helpline
said it is impossible for me to get it
by drinking after someone, but both sounded
like they knew jack so of course I turn
to the internet. As well as my chances
of contracting this I am wondering if
someone could clear the concept of this
up for me. I was told a simple cold sore or
canker sore is HSV, but I've had those
multiple times in my life *im 16ish*
does that mean I already have this...
Let jsut say the information sites on
this virus aren't to helpfull when it
comes to the difference of HSV and a
commen cold sore or canker sore. And none
of the sites said anything about drinking
after someone so yeah. Please reply soon
or I'm afraid I will put myself ina bubble
and end up soffocating myself because I
am very parinoid about this now. I know from
now on I am NOT going to drink after
anyone and no one is drinking after me.
I'm freaking out so please someone help me!

Recently I was experiancing a sore bump on my lip. I was bothered by it but did not think much about it. My boyfriend assured me that it was nothing along with a kiss. That weekend I saw my mother who very bluntly told me it was herpes.This was very shocking and depressing knowing that I may have inadvertingly passed it onto him; the very thing that caused me to get it. I am half way through my first year in college and i have no idea where i could have picked it up... i found this website which i thought was helpful with explaining this virus but some of the info about spreading oral to genitals and genitals to oral was incorrect as seen at http://www.herpes.com/Transmission.shtml besides that, its nice to know how many people out there are having the same feelings and problems that I myself am just beginning to deal with...

ok.. so i just started an outbreak this morning of a small bump on my lower lip.. i've had cold sores my whole life, so it's nothing i'm not used to.. but my boyfriend kissed me today before i could really say anything.. so what are the chances that the virus was spread to him??? please help, i'd hate to be the reason that he would have to deal with this too..

ok so i gave oral sex on friday and no we didnt use protcetion it was also like my first time i only new the guys for a week he told me he had nothing but i dont know well anyway sunday i woke up with a kind of small white cirle up towards my lip but on the inside of my mouth. theres only one but i lookes at pictures of herpes and they looked way worse than what i have. but i saw one pictue that looked pretty similar to what i have do i have herpes?

So for almost 3 months now I couldn't figure out what was going on with me. I thought I was having reacurrent yeast infections bec. I was experiencing burning, pain, and some discahrge for a while. A few times I went to the doctor's they did not see any yeast but I was convinced it was yeast until a week ago when I went to the doctor's again while I was having burning, of course they did not see anything under the miscroscope except that my epithelial cells were going crazy and were inflammed. So I have figured out that what I'm been going through is constant herpes outbreaks bec. of the constant stress I have been having for the past couple months and taking antibiotics and yeast infection medications that I never needed. If anyone has had the same prblem, not know whether they have a yeast infection or herpes I know what you are going through. Yeast usually does have a thick whit discharge but herpes has a discharge as well sometimes,different from a yeast infection discharge but it is easy to mix up the 2 bec. they have similiar symptoms. When I went to the gyno one day she saw raw red patches inside my vagina and little tiny cuts ont he outside, herpes can causes these type of symptoms and unless sores are present at the time you go see your gyno they will not know it's herpes.I've realized doctor's jsut don't know everything.Also, before this I did not have an outbreak fro 10 years so I believe herpes is manageable, taking care of yourself and avoiding too much stress is the best medication. After not having an outbreak for 10 years I had forgotten what it felt like to have one so for some reason when people say it sounds like a yeast infection I would jsut treat myself for a yeast infection and that probably made it worse. Make sure to have the doctor check fro actual yeast under the microscope so you aren't misdiagnosed.

My husband has mild but obvious shingle symptoms confirmed by GP. however he has them both on his trunk and on his lower jaw/neck/tongue area. The doctor had not came acros this before and I wondered if anyone else had. Thanks
