In dire need of some professional advice

[ravin132]

Hi guys, my last sexual encounter left me with some blisters that quickly turned into open sores just two days after, on my penis. These were the first time i've experienced anything like this. i immediately went to an STD professional and his first remark via inspection was it being herpes. They took a swab culture test of the blisters and a week later i was told i had hsv1 infection on the genitals.

My doctor told me that after the first outbreak, the recurring outbreaks of a hsv1 infection wont come on the genitals again, but instead on the oral areas. He also said, most usually, recurring outbreaks for hsv1 infection on the genitals is very very seldom. Can anyone testify to this?

Will truly appreciate all the help.


Thanks

Lol... what kind of a doctor were you seeing!? HSV1 won't leap from the genitals to the mouth. Maybe if you had a sore on your genitals and could manage to rub it on your mouth, you could 'transmit' to yourself but that's ridiculous. If you have HSV1 genitally, that's where it will stay. HSV1 is not as dire or difficult as HSV2, so you're in luck there. The outbreaks shouldn't be too terribly bad.

Get yourself some Lysine, this works just as well as prescription meds. :)

Hi, having hsv1 genital has nothing to do with having oral outbreaks next time as is a different ganglion. It is true that hsv1 genital are less frequent and shedding in that area occurs 3-5% of the days evaluated
