First off let me say thanks for everyone who has contributed to this forum as i have recieved alot of good information from reading through and realizing that herpes is more popular than i ever could of imagined. Here is my sitsuation I recently started seeing this girl and and we get along great and our relationship has been moving along fairly swiftly but we have yet to have sexual intercourse but i have dabbled in performing oral sex on her. aprox 2-3 days afterwards i noticed that i was breaking out around my chin lower lip area and it itched something fierce, Well at first i thought that it was irritation from some sharp pubic stubble but a couple days later she was complaining of some itching so i quickly started investigating and when i looked at her pubic region i noticed it was covered with red sores with a white ***** head. I immediatly told her she needed to see a doctor, and she got in later that evening. She was prob in the doctors/gynocologist office 15 min when she came out with some genital herpes booklets/dvd. Needless to say i was freaking out inside but for the sake of not freaking her out anymore i decided to be supportive and strong for her even though i was crying inside. Now her doctor never swabbed her but from the pics ive seen on the internet it looked like herpes to me. So i immediatly went to the doctor and after inspection, They didnt think it was herpes but they did do a swap test on my face, My breakout sores was considerably smaller and didnt have the same white ***** head in the middle. Now ive yet to get my results back (hopefully sometime today) but even if they come back negative i realized that it might not be accurate. Im now at day 5 of the breakout and they are shrinking up and all ive been doing is washing with a good anti bacterial soap and taking the anti viral medicine that my doctor prescribed. (not for treating herpes). At first i was upset that i had possibly recieved this gift because i had never had any signs before, nor any problems with sexual partners but after reading the information about the virus being dormant for years i have stopped blaming my partner because she is not the type of person who would not tell me, If she did have herpes. She did tell me that she had the chicken poxs twice and has had pink eye a couple of times and i think they are somewhat related to the some strain of herpes virus but without a doubt in my mind i know she didnt intend to hurt me if she was the carrier. I am very interested in knowing what my test results are gonna show as far as its type 1 or 2, what the difference means to our relationship and what we can look forward too in the future. I might add i dont have any breakouts in my genital area. This breakout around my face has really caused me to shy away from any affection because of the fear of passing on to her face/mouth and this is really been hard because i enjoy making out etc. Is it always gonna be like this? Can i never kiss her again, without fear of passing it on to her face? I have so many questions/concerns. Mainly i just really care about this girl and i dont want to cause her any discomfort by my actions. We have made a commitment to get thru this problem together, Without passing blame on each other. Sorry for the length of my post and also my english/typing skills are not the greatest. Thanks in advance
