I think my boyfriend might have herpes?

It usually takes 2 to 4 weeks for the first outbreak to appear.  It is  usually the worst and longest lasting outbreak.  Encourage him to see a doctor.  I would avoid intercourse.  Good Luck!

For the most part people are usually pretty accepting about it. I told my boyfriend at the time (now fiance) that I have genital herpes and he was completely understanding about it. Of course he wanted to know if he could get it and how, and how it is treated, etc. So after some long talks he has come to accept it and the fact that someday  he might get it.\n\nI've never had a bad experience when telling someone I was dating that I have genital herpes. They usually just ask a lot of questions. It might be different though for a deadly STD like HIV/AIDS, since I don't have HIV/AIDS, I'm not sure how someone would react if their partner told them they have it.

Dumo Him and move on. Tell him of the STD and HPV. and leave. I am a believer that once a cheater, always a cheater. he is/was very sexually active it sounds like. be careful if you stay with him. It may not have been his first, and not his last. If he does not choose to change is activity, he wont.\nAlso kick him in the nuts. (as Cartman would say...haha) jk

Most surely. I you are exposed to blood, semen, or any other discharge that might be present, and if there are open cuts or sores on the lips or the glans, then STD's can be contracted, even HIV. Herpes can be contracted this way as well if the sores are on the "head".\nYour best call for safety... stay "clean" and wear a condom.

Hey No need to worry this much, I have gone through a similar condition like this . I was much worried about herpes as symptoms looks that way . After that I realized that most symptoms are produced by my anxiety only. Now all I can say is that you have become hypersensitive . What you are experience is a penis irritation or inflammation only . The body aching is produced by your anxiety . Take this as a good lesson stop having any kind of sexual relations with strangers . If you are having sexual urge so much , then practice safe sex like masturbation . Otherwise this kind of careless sex can take away entire life . Think about it .At this moment you don't need to worry much about . Your symptoms will go away after few days .Further you practice safe sex only . You can go for an STD test later if you want to make sure that you are 100% clean.

You can get almost any STD from somebody who didn't have an outbreak at the time. Then again, it is much more likely that one will get an STD when an outbreak occurs. The virus, of course, is still running through the body when there is no outbreak, and there is a chance that he could have contracted it a long time ago, and especially if his immune system has been low lately, he can be more susceptible to an outbreak. There is no surefire way to tell if he has been cheating on you, unless he was a virgin before he met you. \nBut I'd play it safe & wear a condom anyways.

Sounds to me like he has HPV. (Genital Warts)  U need to make him go get tested. Condoms do not protect u against HPV and there are certain types that increase the risk of cervical cancer in women. Also, most people who have HPV do not show any symptoms, so it's possible u already have it. Go see ur gynocologist and ask for a HPV test. If u have it, u should have a pap smear every 3-4 months to check for abnormal cell growth. If u do, dont get hysterical over it, HPV will usually go away on it's own within a year or two as long as u are no longer having sex with an infected partner, and in most cases it doesnt turn into cancer. But better to know for sure and keep up with regular checks just in case.

I wouldn't jump to any conclusions. He could be oozing a little ejaculate. It could also be "smegma" which is just an accumulation of oils and skin cells. Both are perfectly normal. \n\nBut if there is any doubt, I certainly wouldn't risk sex with him until he is checked. And if he won't get checked, you need to be for your own protection.

Before he gets scarred for life (herpies never ever goes away) tell her to tell him about the STD.  Make sure she knows that if she doesn't tell him, you will.  It isn't your place to step into their affairs, but this is serious if he doesn't know.

It is definitely possible that he gave it to you. Also, you don't have an outbreak of HPV, you have outbreaks of the herpes virus. You can get genital warts from HPV but it is not considered an outbreak. People can have HPV for years and never show any signs or symptoms. I have had HPV for about 5 years now. After a year of having it I developed cervical cancer and about 6 months ago I got genital warts. So it can take months, if not years to develop any symptoms. HPV is a virus, it will stay with you the rest of your life. The only thing you can do is treat the symptoms, but you will always have the virus.\n\nMen usually show no symptoms of having the STD and spread it very easily to women. There is no test currently for men to detect the virus, usually men find out they have it is by developing genital warts, hand or feet warts. So for him to try and sue you for it is not going to work. There is no way for him to prove you gave it to him or a women from a previous relationship he was in.

I would go and get tested. I say yes there is a chance to still get it. Just because the person didn't have symptoms when you slept together dosen't mean they didn't have it. So please go and get tested. Good luck to you.

chances are he has hpv as well.....i think it was up to 87% of americans over the age of 16 have hpv. but yes you should tell him. if hes a good guy, he will stick around. if not then you didnt need him amyways.   keep a eye out on your hpv. go to your doctor when your supposed to. I have hpv and it lead to more serious issues.     good luck sweetheart

He needs to seek medical attention as soon as possible. It could be nothing, but why worry when you don't have to? The suddeness of this is alarming. It could be nothing, or it could be an indication of a more serious problem. You guys should go get it checked out together, even it's embarrassing (for him).

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.

I would keep seeing a person with herpes as long as they were honest with me from the beginning.  It's frustrating, of course, and it wouldn't be my first choice, but if I really liked the person then it wouldn't matter.  It would affect when we could have sex, but if the relationship is built on something more important than sex, then that would still be okay with me.  If they did not tell me about it and I found out later, I would not stay with them.
