newly dignosed single mom of 2
Well I had my blisters scrapped Monday. I'm aware Its herpes solely from the look of them. Pain and location. Of course everyone I've been with denies any genital concerns (yes I'm aware it can be asymptomatic). But I did inform each of them so I've done my part.
I'm so scared this is going to move from my left labia to my entire body. I know it needs a moist surface to stay alive. But I'm just new to this new kind of constant paranoid thinking. I fear Hand hygiene isn't enough and I should be doing more. I am scared to wipe away my tears. I was in emergency this morning because I got a cyst in my eye and was convinced I transferred herpes from vaginal area to eye. Overtime my arms tingle or my feet feel funny I have to do a complete head to toe assessment.
I'm a single mom and I don't care about my future love life. I care about my kids safety and their wellbeing. This diagnosis is extremely difficult to handle at the moment but I'm sure with more information I'll be able to manage a healthy lifestyle that reflects my new body's complications.
If you can help me understand how to keep this contained. The likeness of transferring from genitals to body. The precautions other parents take. I can start to feel empowered and less like a giant bag of dirt.
Yes I stated oral antivrials 2 days ago. I've notice some changes. The blisters have popped. It hurts like hell and to top it I got my period so I have to wear a pad and I'm sure thats not helping heal it any faster.
Looking forward to hearing some replies. This Google search way about finding information is scary.

you have never, EVER exposed your child to your genital herpes!! you are worrying about things you don't have to worry about.
the virus doesn't float through water. sitting in the pool with them or in the tubby is not a risk.
we never have the kind of contact with out children it takes to transmit herpes.

Like I'm sure after the bath we all used one towel. I've only bathed with my kids twice over the 2 years
I have been thinking of all the times over the last three years all the times I could have exposed my kids to this virus.
My question is. If I just had my first known ob. Is it possible I've exposed my kids over the years bathing with them. Sitting in the kitty pool during summer with

you don't have to do any special cleaning!! you don't have to wash the tub or wipe the toilet!! YOU ARE NOT A BIOHAZARD!!!

The blister now looks like a wart. Soft around the outter part with a yellowy scab in the middle white circlar sore with red bass. It's just one . She doesn't complain about it but does say it hurts when we wash and change the bandaid. Being the Dr. Did say it looks like herpes whitlo and only when I broke down crying did he say it could also be a blister. I know it's very unlikely it's herpes. I have been so cautious in the bathroom during my last Ob I wear gloves to wipe and sprayed and wiped the entire bathroom. With antibacterial wipes. I also have a bleach and water spray bottle I spray the tub with after I shower. But I just can't get passed him telling me it looks like it and to just keep a bandaid on it.
Would you recommend further action?
Also I'm going to talk to my std center tomorrow and receive counseling because I can't stop thinking I'm contagious and spreading it all over the place and passing it on. This Dr.s diagnosis almost put me suicidal. I know I'm not coping and getting help. Was just hoping for your guidance tonight so I can settle.
Will there ever be a time I'll be able to say. It's just herpes.... ??? Right now I feel like I've been handed a death sentence from a loved one.

once he gets his results, you'll have real answers as to who has what and can start deciding what precautions to take from this point forward.
