I'm so sorry to even have the knowledge to tell you this. I contracted HSV from a boyfriend of a year after he had unprotected sex with some slut in Atlanta and then crawled into my bed. Now I am in new relationship with a man I've known for nearly two years. I will have to tell him about herpes too. After herpes, everything in my life changed, but it wasn't the disease that hurts the most -it's the stigma, hurt, and the inability to trust someone else. After the first outbreak it's pretty much smooth sailing except all those old feelings are brought up with every new outbreak. Three years ago, I had a relationship with a man who admitted after we had dated and had sex for nine months that he had herpes. At first, I was okay with it until I realized that he lied to me. He lied by not saying anything. He made the decision that I wasn't a person enough to decide whether I wanted herpes in my life. Then I wondered, "What other decisions is he making for me?" That was scary. Then Mr. I'm Getting Kicks in Atlanta took my ability to choose. He decided that it would be easier to not tell me that there was another person in our bed than to tell me the truth. Someone has already taken your ability to choose, but you and I have no right to do that to someone else. You don't want to go into your new relationship and have someone feel that way about you. Approximately 1 in 4 people have genital herpes and really it's no big deal. The stigma is the thing that ruins people's lives. If it didn't exist than there might be better relationships. I will be telling my next partner within as soon as sex comes up. Tell him in a relaxed setting (clothes on) and really talk to him. Tell him before you've had any sexual contact. It's okay if he's weirded out by it. Tell him, "I know what it feels like not to be valued as person because someone did that to me. I care for you and I want there to be no secrets between us. I have herpes." Give him an envelope filled with reading material so that he can see for himself. Then quickly tell him what herpes means, i.e. a noncurable skin condition. Try to be as positive as possible, he is going to look for cues from you to understand how to feel. Personally, I won't be choosing another sex partner now before marriage. I know this makes this harder, but I consider this a huge warning to not trust "Goodtime Charlie" with a go-round with my body. It's worth more than that.

Many diseases have differnet strands. For example HPV has 16 that I know of (cause of cancer cells)  The family you talk about is kown as HSV -oral is HSV 1, genital HSV 2.  There are more as well in the herpes zoster family, shingles and chicken pox.  It is possible for you to get both since they are different strands at the same time but cases are rare (like 1% they say.)  There are test to see if you have both the HSV strands as well as others.

it can be a cycle, cause if you give your bf herpes and then you give him head then you'll get a different strain on the mouth/throat and then you could pass it back to him through kissing or if he goes down on you.

Yes you can.  Herpes is caused by a virus.  The virus is present whether the person is showing symptoms or not.

A common question is ‘Are colds sores on the mouth the same as genital herpes?’\nThey are caused by two different strains of the herpes virus.\n \nHerpes Simplex Virus Type 1 commonly causes sores on the lips known as ‘fever blisters’ or ‘cold sores’ but it CAN also cause genital infection. \nHerpes Simplex Virus  Type 2 most often causes genital sores.\nIt can also infect the mouth. (CDC)\n\nSo, you can have an unpleasant sore on your mouth and it MAY not be from oral sex \n\nOr you can have a sore on your mouth and it IS genital herpes.\n\nHSV-1 and HSV-2 can be found in and released from the sores that the viruses cause, but they also are released between outbreaks from skin that does not appear to be broken or to have a sore. Generally, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore and may not know that he or she is infected. \n\nHSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips, so-called "fever blisters." HSV-1 infection of the genitals can be caused by oral-genital or genital-genital contact with a person who has HSV-1 infection. Genital HSV-1 outbreaks recur less regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks.\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/std/Herpes/STDFact-Herpes.htm

yes. you can get herpies anywhere by any kind of genital contact even if the person doesnt have an outbreak.

No. \n\nTo get genital herpes you need direct skin to skin contact or you need to have sex with the person.\n\nSo if he were to use to toilet, and then you used it after him, you would not get the virus. It is not direct skin to skin contact. \n\nI was worried about spreading the virus to my younger brothers when I first got it. I shared a bathroom with them for five years! Neither of them got the virus from me and we didn't take special precautions like wiping down the seat after I used the toilet every time. You need direct skin to skin contact to contract the virus!

Herpes is an inflammatory virus disease of the skin or mucous membranes. A virus spread by close personal contact, such as kissing or sexual intercourse. There are two types of herpes. The first type is herpes simplex type 1 (or HSV-1). HSV-1 occurs most often on or near the mouth and appears as a blister or cold sore. The second type, herpes simplex type 2 (or HSV-2), occurs most often on or near the sex organs and is sometimes called "genital herpes."\n\nno, T.I doesnt have it\n\n=)

No - There are two types of herpes simplex virus (HSV)- HSV 1 and HSV 2.  HSV 1 is the common oral type of infection causing "cold sores" that appear during periods of stress or sometimes due to exposure to sun.  While HSV-1 is usually found in the area of the mouth and HSV-2 is usually found in the genital area, there can be transfer between the two areas (oral to genital and genital to oral).\n\nOutbreaks can be prevented with antiviral medications such as Valtrex (valacyclovir) made by Glaxo Smithkline (GSK).\n\nFor more information about HSV, check out:

no. however a "fever blister" or cold sore is generally speaking most likely herpes type 1. "Genital Herpes" aka herpes type 2 however can look like just a fever blister. what I mean by this is that other than the genitals you can get herpes blisters on your fingers (usually around the cuticle area) and on you lips,inside your mouth and in some particularly painful cases on your eye lids. so by Herpes symptoms what exactly do you mean? Fever, chills, more blisters?  A blood test for herpes only shows for whether you have been exposed to the virus, NOT if you have been infected with it. The difference is that if you are exposed to a virus you blood builds up antibodies to that virus which means next time you are exposed you can fight back! When you are infected the virus "wins" and you get sick. The only definative test there is currently (at least to my knowlege) is a culture of the blister before it dries up. I know this sounds gross and it is... but if you don't find out if you have herpes, well you could go for 30 years and not know you have it and then when you are married and pregnant suddenly your husband gets an outbreak. Oh yeah did I mention that you don't have to have an outbreak to transmit herpes type 2. Now, not only do you have a significant other to worry about but did you know that if you have an outbreak during certain parts of your pregnancy your baby could die. or it might just be brain damaged. Point being just get that blister checked out ok? Trust me... The reason I know this stuff is because I waited too long to find out. I've never had a real outbreak but I have had a blood test which says I have at least been exposed to both types... so just TRUST ME You'll be glad to have a REAL answer either way

HSV 1 and HSV 2 can both be transmitted to your partner if you do not use protection regardless of whether or not there is currently an outbreak.  They are two different types, though very closely linked.  It depends where the HSV 1 is located.  Many people think that it can only be on the mouth, but it can be anywhere on the face or genitals.  So, though sometimes it may depend on where it is located, more often than not, herpes can be spread to another person even when there isn't an outbreak.

They are the same thing, Herpes Simplex 2.

genital herpes and cold sores are both caused by the herpes virus.  Cold sores are herpes simplex one and genital herpes is simplex 2.  Oral to genital contact can spread the virus just like genital to genital contact.  \n\nIf your friend has genital herpes you can pretty much avoid contracting it by not having oral to genital or genital to genital contact with her.  However, many people with simplex 2 also have cold sores because herpes is a virus that lodges in the spinal fluid.  If your friend has an OPEN sore on her lips or in her mouth and you share lipstick or chapstick you have a chance of contracting the mouth sores.\n\nThe best thing for you to do is to not share makeup or straws.  And be sure that you are available emotionally for support to your friend - herpes can be hard to live with and your friend will benefit from your loving and non-paranoid, non-judgemental support.  \n\ngood luck\nLani

It is feasible that HSV-1 (commonly known as oral herpes) could be transmitted in this manner.  The most common transmission lines of HSV-1 are by kissing or sharing of food/drink (cups, straws, bottles, utensils, etc.).  Basically anything that an infected person's saliva comes in contact with, especially during an outbreak, is a potential means of transmission.  That's why 80 to 90 percent of the people in the US are infected with this variant of the virus, though many don't even realize it (percentages are according to the NIH and CDC).

Just because you have one strain of the herpes virus doesn't mean you can't get another strain of the virus. You're best bet is to be safe and use protection.
