soap allergerys
i have had a soap allergerys for years and I have used different soaps.i was swollen up in my vaginia i was freaking out i had a cold sore on my lip(i have had hsv1 orally since i was 12 i'm 41 now)so i took Valacyovir and the swelling in my vaginia started to go down.i had touched myself down south weeks before.i had my papsmear and the doctor said i looked ok down there other than being irriated a little.i haven't had no tingling/lesions.i'm just wondering does that sound like herpes?
i agree Grace my practioner isn't up to date.I'm not going to give him nomore blowjobs with a cold sore on my lip.so if i test negative for hsv2 then i know i don't have gential herpes.thanks Grace for writting me.Sarah
i don't have any kind of breakout on my vaginia.or my husband doesn't have any sores on his penis.me and my husband have the same strain hsv 1 orally.i guess the chances would be low for it to be the same virus.thank you for your comment.
Regarding protection from getting hsv-1 genitally if you have it orally...
I have had oral hsv-1 for about 15 years now, with two episodes of vaginal sores in the last two years. Tests have actually come out neg on the vaginal sores both times. So, considering my lengthy time with oral, what are the odds that the vaginal sores are the same virus?

I think your provider isn't very up to date on herpes testing :(
type specific herpes igg blood testing gives you totally different results - 1 for hsv1 ( which you already know you have ) and 1 for hsv2. really all you need is hsv2 testing .
hsv1 isn't a real issue in your relationship since you both have it. you should err on the side of caution though and neither of you should perform oral on the other when you have active cold sores present. Having hsv1 orally gives you significant protection against contracting hsv1 genitally later on but not 100% .

hello Grace thank you for writting me.i went to my practioner today and i talked to her about the herpes test.she said she couldn't test me because it would come up positive because i get cold sores on my lips.plus i told her about me giving my husband a blow job with a cold sore and she says that my antibodies wouldn't protect me,.i'm confused.she made me feel like i already have gential herpes from giving my husband a b.j.what do you think?
