How do you keep relashionships if you have herpes?!


Question: but we both like each other?


Answers: but we both like each other?

Well, I found out I have herpes in a middle of a relationship. Immediately I start to take valtrex, besides that we always used condom.
When I told him I have it, he just kicked me out terribly, he not even gave me right to have a conversation. I know nobody is the same but, from now on, I will not tell anyone I have it. I take valtrex and will keep with condom, I don't wanna assume the risk to be throw in the garbage as this ignorant did. Plus, I told to some friends about it, they cut me off also from their lives.
So I just remand you that is very hard to carry it on.

I am very sorry for u.
Good lucky

Honesty, Condoms and Valtrex.

condoms and i guess do it when you dont have outbreaks but still wear a condom talk to her about it

Condoms do not prevent herpes from being spread. Sorry that is one STD that condoms are not effective for. Yes they help but it can still be passed.

if anyone suffer from HERPES then should be treated with Aclycovir for reducing infection & for itching NEEM leaf uses in that particular region just touch the leaf for feeling comfort

being honesty to your partner and condems

Condoms help but do not prevent herpes. Herpes requires skin to skin contact and condoms do not cover the scrotum and lower shaft of the penis. So transmission is possible. Around 1/4th(US) of the population have herpes type 2 with most not knowing they actually are a carrier. There are couples who been together for years who never transmitted the virus to their partner and some who got it the first sexual experience. The only way to prevent STD's is to not have sex. If you really care for each other then take whatever precautions you can when you do have sex. It all depends on if the person wants to take the risk of having sex with you knowing you have herpes or take a blind risk with someone else who may or may not have an STD.

You're not specifying if you have herpes - or her?

As long as the person without herpes understands that there is still a 2% chance of catching the virus - even when there are no visible symptoms....
AND the person with herpes knows their symptoms and PREsymptoms - and works very hard to keep the other as safe as is possible..The pre-symptoms (cramping, tingling, itching) are still a contagious time & when most people pass it on to others.
Condoms work very little - unless the outbreak is ON the penis shaft or INSIDE the vaginal walls - because that is all a condom covers

the person who has herpes should keep track of their symptoms and if they are experiencing any symptoms of outbreaks then they should not have sex of any kind. condoms are not all that effective against herpes since it doesn't cover all the areas where herpes can spread to. u can still be with each other and like each other. there will just be times when u can't have sex, that is just an inconvenience of herpes.
i managed to keep a relationship and still in it while having herpes but that was before he knew tha he had herpes too.
