My signifacant other had a outbreak of genital herpes he said his doctor said he could have had the virus for a long time but I am not sure if I believe him or not can anyone help?
It’s a holiday week-end, but I know I have an outbreak of genital Herpes. I’ve known my husband had the virus and we’ve been safely managing the condition for the 19 years we’ve been together, but our “luck ran out” I guess.
I’ve read a lot and I plan to get to a doctor first thing next week, but in the meantime, can anyone out there tell me of what they may use to ease the discomfort of the painful blisters?
I started taking warm baths with 1st Epsom Salts and today regular salt. I’ve dried out the area and I’m wearing a dress with no underwear on. I read on a UK site to use Vasilene; other sites say use no ointments or creams. I tried using pure corn starch on it, too.
Can you help with any ideas that may work for you?
Thanks much.
P.S. For any of you who have a partner with this virus and you don’t have it, be very careful and use condoms as much as possible. My husband usually felt the on-coming of his outbreaks, but this one time he didn’t 
Thanks for taking the time to answer; I really appreciate it! Just curious, why is warm/hot water not good? Before getting anwers, I sat in the tub (in warm/hot water.)
Just hope I can make it through today — 1st day of work (I wish I could rest at least one more day
Would genital herpes occur on more than just thighs? Wouldnt there be sores in the genital region too?
I tested positive for HPV over 10 years ago. Then tested negative for it for the past 5 years. And, now I just recently tested positive again. I’ve never had any outbreaks. Can I still pass it to my boyfriend?
I think that I may have genital herpes and I was just wondering if it is normal to experience a mild fever and sore throat from it? If it is how long does the fever and sore throat usually last?
