Pain, bloating, nausea - could it be herpes?

[habibi2005]

I have symptoms where I have significant pain, cramping,bloating and sometimes nausea during certain times.  Often it accompanies my period, but other times when it is not that time of the month.  My BF has ghsv1 and although we always use condoms and he is on suppressive antiviral meds, but I often wonder if I could have herpes and the outbreak is on my cervix during these times.  There was one time a couple years ago where his penis did slip inside me before putting a condom on and perhaps I got it then.  Could this be a symptom of herpes?

The chances of you getting ghsv1 from him are very, very slim, especially if you are using condoms and antivirals. It rarely sheds, rarely recurs, which means it rarely transmits. If he's had ghsv1 for more than 2 years, he's shedding the virus about 4 days a year, outside of outbreaks. That means that on the other 361 days, he's not infectious unless he's getting outbreaks. If he is using antivirals, it's down to about 2 days.

I wouldn't ever worry about getting it from him, unless you have sex during an outbreak.

Have you ever tested for hsv1? You could have it orally, like 2/3 of adults globally, and never know you have it.

My guess is that your period is causing your symptoms, or ovulation. You should track those symptoms, and talk to your gynecologist about them.
