about a few seconds of oral,,,and some foreplay,,,,no intercourse...it was from another male...
your original encounter was just oral from another person right?

Grace, I know you said stress is not a trigger for most people, but I would like to say that I am one of those that it is. I only have visible outbreaks when I am stressed.
to be honest....my "partmer" is my wife of 23 years,,and i am the only guy she has had sex with,,,,she has had the fever sores on her lips when she was sick though,,but my first test was negagtive because it was done too soon,,,,i am currenty waiting again for a conformation test...i read your posts about that
does valtrex havd affect the kidneys?could it be possible for a a first outbreak to last about a month,,like mine did?
so your partner has been tested to know their status?
grace
yes i have a partner....unfortunatley i was stupid and got this from an encounter, last year,,you have no idea how hard this has been..on me emtionally....thank u for ur fast reply though
sunlight can trigger oral ob's. We don't have info as to if it triggers genital ob's consistantly if you are a nude sunbather.
everything else you mentioned really doesn't consistently trigger herpes recurrences. Most folks do not have food triggers and there isn't such a thing as the "herpes diet". stress also hasn't been found to be a trigger for most folks.
It's up to you how you want to treat your herpes. You never, ever , ever have to treat it if you don't want to. Do you have a regular partner?
