[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who got HSV-2 (genital herpes) after receiving oral sex from a guy who had HSV-1 (cold sores).  He didn't even have a visible cold sore at the time.  She later learned from her doctor that there can be shedding without a visible cold sore, and that is still a contagious time. [/quote]

Cool story but HSV-1 doesn’t turn into HsV-2 it’s one or the other. She could get HSV-1 on her genitals though. [/quote]You're right. That's how she told it to me, and maybe it's because she was so distraught, but I just looked it up, and you are correct.  BTW, it's not a "cool story."  She was absolutly devastated, it caused her to sink into a deep depression, and because (of course) she is open and honest with men, she hasn't had a meaningful relationship in 10 years.[/quote]

There’s a website for herpes people to unite[/quote]

Do you all see now that  very few people understand this particular virus and the ramifications? People  do not know  the difference  between 1 and 2, that they BOTH  can be genital, that someone can have it technically  and never present  with symptoms,  that NO, one  does not have to be on medication  daily for life- where the heck did THAT come from(?), that  you can test negative  now but positive  later, that not  having symptoms doesn't  mean you don't  have it,  that HSV positive  means little to someone if it isn't  explained,  that  not having symptoms doesn't  mean it can't  be spread, that not everyone will get  it from a sexual  encounter, that you can have a healthy sex life with it, have  kids  with  it.

This  entire thread should show OP that both  she and her baby daddy just really didn't  understand a lot. Time for a reset, education,  and move  ahead with life. [/quote]
