Genital herpes after being with the same partner for 7 years- can u please help?!


Question: Genital herpes after being with the same partner for 7 years- can u please help!?!?
I had my first outbreak after being with my husband for 7 years!. I have only been with one person my whole life!.

My husband gets an outbreak after I shave and there might be some pricklyness!. Why does he get an outbreak then!?!?

Why did it take me so long to get herpes after 7 years of being with the same partner!?!?
Thank you very much for your help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Any aggrivation and/or stress can trigger an outbreak!.!.!.
Using one of those new vibrating razors triggers an outbreak on ME! Obviously the little bit of scratching that happens when you have stubble triggers an outbreak on your husband!

It's possible to have herpes for 10+ years and not know it! I wasn't diagnosed for the 1st 2 years!.!.!.
The man I caught it from (my husband at the time - and I was a virgin when I met him!.!.so I'm SURE it was him) said he thought it was just a zit on his scrotum and had no clue he had herpes at all!.!.!.even tried to deny it - until many others came forward & said he'd also infected them!.

But it doesn't mean cheating!.!.!.it just means that some small outbreaks and symptoms got past you or him!.!.!. and then you infected the other
It's not hard to live with - you just need to pin-point what triggers outbreaks on you both- and BTW - sex while the other has an outbreak - will definitely trigger an outbreak!
So it's still best to abstain from sex during outbreaks!.!.!.and make sure you don't have oral sex when there are symptoms so that it doesn't get spread to oral herpes as well!.!.!.

My symptoms start with a tingling/aching feeling at my outbreak site - then blisters, ulcers, scabs!.!.!.then gone!.
You're contagious from the 1st symptom - for me it's the tingling feeling!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

HSV can be in your system for days, weeks, months, even years before any symptoms appear, so because you're just now showing symptoms doesn't mean that your husband has been unfaithful or that you've just recently contracted the disease!.
When was your husband diagnosed with genital herpes!?
Does he take episodic or suppressive medicine for HSV!?
Have the two of you recently stopped using protection!?

Outbreaks can be brought on by irritation or stress, so I'm guessing that when you shave, he gets irritated, which causes him to have an outbreak!. When you shave, follow up with lotion to reduce the irritation for the both of you!.

HSV is contracted by skin-to-skin contact!. Did you know that you can also contract HSV while not showing symptoms of an outbreak!? This is called asymptomatic shedding!. Asymptomatic shedding is where HSV is present on the surface of the skin, is transmittable; and with the exception of possible tingling or itchiness in the area, no symptoms are present!.
I would suggest educating yourself about HSV so that you're more informed about the disease so that you and your husband can work through this together!.
Good luck and best wishes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

thats a strange time to get an out break!. they are usually triggered by a reaction to stress or even foods and clothing can do it!. your hubby's out break may be triggered by the shaving lotion or the razzor blades or any kind of cream or after shave he uses!.
if your hubby gets an outbreak then he would obviously be the one who is passing them on to you, if he is the only one u have been sexually active with!. u may want to ask him when or from whom he got herpes!.
herpes can take 2-30 days in some cases, or even years to devolope symtoms!. if u have a strong immune system that would help keep the outbreaks suppressed in your nervous system, until the outbreaks were triggered by something!. i would suggest getting both of u tested for herpes the next time any of u have an out break!. then u would know for sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

See your doctor and discuss how herpes simplex I and II are transmitted, what causes outbreaks, and what the symptoms and treatments are!. It doesn't take 7 years to have an outbreak once you've been infected, but that doesn't mean your husband has been cheating on you!.

Do either of you get cold sores/fever blisters on your mouth, lips, or nose!? It is very possible to spread the herpes virus from one partner's mouth to the other partners genitals during oral sex!. Here's the catch, though - the herpes virus lives in your body and is normally dormant!. It becomes activated several days before an outbreak of blisters!. The virus is actually contagious for as many as 3 days before any symptoms are noticed!. So if one of you has oral herpes, even if you've been careful not to have oral sex during an outbreak, it's still possible to have passed it to one another!.

A good place to start learning about herpes is the American Social Health Association (http://www!.ashastd!.org/)!. There's a lot more to catching and spreading an STD than can be covered here, and there's more to it than your doctor would be able to teach you in an office visit!.

Do see your doctor!. I can't stress that enough!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

herpes could course as a silent infection and cause symptoms when the conditions are proper, so maybe you've been sick or something like that lately that weaken your inmune system and now you're having symptoms!.-
maybe he already have it before you guys got married and passed it to you a long time ago and now it's vissible!.-Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well!.!.!.it sounds to me like he could be fooling around!. Has he always had it!? Some times it can take a long time to show up!. You could've had it for a while now!. Maybe after you shave it irritates his penis or some thing, which could cause an outbreak!. I'm not sure!.!.!.make sure you are getting your regular pap tests!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Herpes can lie dormant for years!. Don't go accusing him until you speak with your doctor, please!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
