Sores

---

ok.....i called and they sed they do. but i need to come in and get an appointment(wich for some dumb reason i cant do over the phone)

Yea i know it is....and even if it wasnt it hurts and is pretty scary to deal with so thats enuf incentive for me to try n get it dealt with.

If it is herpes they can give you lots of information on it and give you some viral medication that will control your outbreaks and help you heal.

umm....i was wondering...who wud u think i got it from? the guy that i'm havin sex with now even tho its protected sex? is it possible i got it from my ex-boyfriend (i havnt had sex with him since the beginnin of december) its not possible for him to hav given me it n i be ok for 2 months, is it?

can u get it from havin protected sex?

no....i'm definetely gettin checked out. I was just wonderin who i got it from

I have a friend who had sex with someone and got an outbreak like three months later. Usually they tend to show up after a couple weeks, but it varies greatly among person to person.

You also could have gotten it from someone who had a cold sore going down on you. Herpes 1 ("mouth herpes") can be spread down there.

the guy that i'm havin sex with now hasnt gone down on me and we haven't had unprotected sex...is it possible its from him? :confused:

thanx a million....that was really helpful.

oh man, herpes...very very nasty virus indeed. sorry to hear it.

YUP, YUP...u guys were rite :frowning: ...doc sez i hav herpes...told the guy i'm havin sex with...he was really supportive ( WHICH HE SHUD B PROVIDED I PROBABLY GOT IT FROM HIM ) he even went to the pharmacy to get the meds for me but he wont get tested :angry: & i also told my boyfriend (who is still in the US) & he got mad at first cuz he sed i'm cheatin on him (WICH I CUDNT BRING MYSELF TO ADMIT TO) & then he found out i cuda gotten it from him or b4 him wich made him calm down & actually kinda sympathetic wich was surprising for him!!! i was wonderin...do they hav any meds that let u hav less frequent outbreaks or anythin? and are outbreaks triggered by anythin or w/e? cuz i'm havin another outbreak (wich isnt 1/2 as bad as the first one THANK GOD!!) but its stil annoyin to deal with...i got an ointment called acyclovir or sumn like dat....thanx for all ur help....U GUYS ARE GREAT!!! :laughing:

I think I've seen Valtrex advertised on TV for herpes.

you can get generic acyclovir capsules. you can take them all the time to suppress outbreaks, or only take them when you feel an outbreak coming on. they work really well.since you are newly infected, your outbreaks may be more severe and more frequent. over time, they get less and less. i got herpes when i was 19. at first i got 4 - 6 outbreaks a year, then after a little while they subsided to 2 or 3. over time, it's become pretty much zero, unless i'm really stressed out. if i am, i will feel one coming on and start taking the pills and typically the outbreak never really comes.for a lot of really good info, visit the link below. the forums are excellent.
