Been there, done that. Yes it can be very dreadful. I know how you feel. \n\nI got genital herpes about 5 years ago. I have dated a few guys since then, and I have told EVERY one of them before I became sexually active with them. I can tell you I have never had a bad experience or reaction to telling any of them though. Although, that's not true for some people. When I know the relationship is getting serious I'll sit them down and explain it to them. The best thing I have found to do is to get as much good information about the virus as you can. This way when they ask you questions like, can I get it? How do I get it? Is is deadly? Is it treatable? etc, you will have the right information and you will be able to explain it to them. Also, provide them with some good websites, that way when it's convenient for them, they can go online and read about it themselves. \n\nI am currently engaged to a great guy right now. I told him when we were first dating that I had the virus and I sat him down and explained it all to him. He was concerned of course, but after some serious talks he understood it better. He accepted that he would probably get it from me someday. After a few months, he did end up getting the virus. But we are still together and plan on marrying soon. \n\nDon't let this affect you dating life! There are plenty of guys out there that would completely understand the situation. Even one of the guys I have dated also had the virus! So don't feel like you are the only one, a lot of people have it.\n\nYou can email me if you like. Good luck to you!

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.

Not unless she has symptoms of the warts around her mouth, and that would be some form of oral herpes. If the guy has warts, he can give it to the girl through a BJ

You can transmit Herpes by kissing.  Lesions of the oral variety and in rare cases genital.  \n\nAlso, it is technically possible to have Gonoccocal and or Chlamydial pharyngitis - so if the kissing is quite deep, with serious exchange of fluids, or the bacterial load is high, transmission is possible.  \n\nAny worries - go get checked out.  Stay safe.

Herpes is not as bad as it's made out to be when treated and when you learn to avoid outbreaks with supplements, life changes and sometimes meds.  And, Guys can have it and not even know, as there can just be a small red bump on the underside of the penis that he can't see or feel.\n\nIt sucks if they didn't tell you before, if they knew and I would be more concerned about the honesty factor.

I dont think it had anything to do with you making out with somone.  Maybe you are coming down with the stomach flu or the guy who you kissed had the flu and you caught it from him...\nIf you were really nervous about making out with him, you could have just made your stomach upset and that caused you to throw up.  Try not to worry about it.. I hope you feel better!

You will still be contagious (cold sores are caused by a herpes virus), so no kissing. Don't spread that!\n\nTo make it subside a bit, so that it's not as noticeable, try chammomile tea. Make yourself a cup and then use the teabag as a compress upon the location of your coldsore.

Genital herpes are easy to spot; they are open red sores. Do you recall ever seeing them on him? It is slightly more difficult for men to contract GH than women since the herpes virus thrives on warm damp areas (i.e. the vagina or mouth), so even if he did cheat on you with a woman with GH, it would be possible for him not to contract the virus. Although this is not as likely, but not impossible either, if he has an oral strain of the herpes virus and might have "gone down" on you while he had a cold sore, that strain could have mutated into the HSV-2 or HSV-1 type (genital herpes).

I have herpes of the mouth and have for a long time. So I asked my doc if I could transfer it to my husband and she said if it is weepy and oozy you should not perform oral sex. There is a possibility! So stay on the safe side if you have an open lesion do not perform oral sex. Although, just because a person has cold sores does not mean they have genital herpes.

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

None. STD's are transmitted by sexual activity. \nYes, the herpes virus causes cold sores. so if your partner has a cold sore on their mouth/lips you should abstain from kissing otherwise you can get a cold sore on your mouth. But, a cold sore on your mouth is a cold sore, not an STD. And, yes when a partner has a oral cold sore they should never perform oral sex on their partner, they could easily give them genital herpes that way. But, the asker asked about kissing, not oral sex. Lastly, yes you can get chlamydia and other bacterial STD's infections in the throat, but it extremely rare and is not rountinely tested for. And, one would not be able to contract that through kissing, but through oral sex and the asker asked about kissing. \n\nashastd.org\nplannedparenthood.org

Who knows what all you might have caught?  Herpes could be the LEAST of your worries, you little fool!  What happens in Vegas may not necessarily stay in Vegas...especially if you brought home an STD!!!

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.

If there is no milk, cut, then no you can not. If it was sex with out a condom then yes. If it was kissing right after brushing your teeth and your partner is infected then yes. If you are active then you should get tested every 6 mos.

emillea is right - He is at risk of contracting oral herpes. That other answer is wrong about you not getting cold sores from genital herpes. Type 1 and 2 can both cause the same results. They can both cause oral or genital herpes. And even when you have no symptoms, the virus may be shedding. You can take prescription valtrex which can help suppress your symptoms, but even with that it is still possible to spread the virus. I know this stinks, only God can heal someone of genital herpes. But I believe all things are possible with Him.  Until He does it, use wisdom.
