Do I have Genital Herpies??

katelynashlee:

 

I would first recommend that you review the website http://www.healthcentral.com/genital-herpes/introduction-000052_2-145.html, which outlines the timeline of symptoms common to genital herpes. Also, you might find http://www.healthcentral.com/genital-herpes/understanding-genital-herpes-2518-143.html rather helpful because it will provide you with a generalized scientific background of herpes. I have recently forwarded your inquiry to our medical expert, who may be able to provide you with a more concrete diagnosis.

 

Hope this is helpful,

I have the same thing you do and i was lucky to have a close adult friend that i asked to take me to the doctor. She knew how i felt because she was diagnosed with cervical cancer a while back. except it wasn't my fault i got herpies, I was raped when i was 10.I'm 13 now and my  adult friend is the only one who knows exactly what happened. Hang in there, you'll make it through one way or the other.

It's a same this had to happend to you. We all make mistakes and sometimes we aren't too lucky and we make a mistake that stays with us forever. Remember this your parents maybe upset if they were to find out, it could always be worst. You are bless to be alive you are seeking help and you will be alright. Once you get pass the hard part you will realize your parents are your best friend because no matter what they will be there for you.

I just recently went to the gyno and had my yearly done. I was 14 when I first started having sex. I am 17 now. I went almost 4 years without contracting anything. I have been with the same guy for almost 4 months now. We don't use protection, which was my first mistake. But I told my mom and she is here for me. You can go to a free clinic and get checked out, but the best thing to do is tell your mom. I haven't had a break out in my mouth or down below, but it's in my blood system. I would go get checked out because it could be genital worts which are different from herpies. Tell your mom, she will help you out and be there for you. Trust me.

If you haven't already figured this out, you should try a treatment for a yeast infection. A rash is often a symptom and it could be that's all it is. Always be sure to use the bathroom right after having sex - it will help to prevent this. Best of luck to you!
reply

why are you having sex at that young age and i spose it is with an older man he needs his nob choped off if so go to doctors and get blood test and tell your mum this is important that she knows to it can infected your family if you have been masterbating and have touched ur eyes u will be infected in ur eyes and will make u go blind so do us all a favour shut your legs for the time been and tell ur mum and dont masterbate and use protection u idiot
reply

The person who wrote the last comment about masturbating and being to young blah blah. First off, learn how to spell. Second, in this generation people have sex at young ages, get over it. It's people like you that make it hard for girls like her to seek advice or to learn about safe sex. you make them scared and intimidated to talk to anyone.

but my advice to you girl, is tell your mom, no becuase it could infect her (cuz it can't) but because she can help you. also, it could very well be a yeast infection. If you shave, the bumps could be in grown hair... so don't sweat it doll.

reply

same exact thing happend to me, i even thought the same thing you thought, about sores not being in my mouth so its probably not it....

 

i went to the free clinic with my friend and got it checked. It was so painful that i just wanted it to go away.

 

It turns out that i do have herpes... I had sex with a guy that i love and i still love and it was also my first time...

 

my advice is just to go get it checked out, its really not the end of the world if you do have it... all you can do it take the medicine and deal with it....

 

but going to a free clinic is your best bet, esp. if you dont want your mom to kno... cause i didnt want mine to know because i know she would be mad, and she still donesnt know because free clinics keep things confidencial.... so dont trip and get it checked before anything gets worse..

reply

LISTEN WHO EVER WROTE DAT COMMENT BOUT HAVING SEX AT A YOUNG AGE WELL LISTEN IM 14 N LOST MINEZ WHEN I WAS 13.. DONT GO AROUND BEING RUDE TO NICE PPL IT WILL COME BACK BUT MY ADVICE TO U KATE IS TELL YOUR MOM GO TO DA CLINIC GET SOME TREATMENT AND B ON YOUR WAY DONT WORRY ABOUT WHAT PPL SAY JUST KEEP YA HEAD UP.. I MEAN I CANT SAY MUCH CAUSE I DONT HAVE IT AND I PLAN ON NOT EVER HAVING IT JUST B SAFE DA NEXT TIME MUCH SUPPORT GOES TO YOU

 

reply

I am a EMT and dont have a vast knowledge with STDs but i do know that if it envolves your health parent are always supportive and i think you should tell your mom and take the advise of most of the people here and go to the clinic. who ever wrote the comment about the masterbating and the underage sex wow you are stupid.
reply

Find a planned parenthood by you and they will have a gonocolist look at it and tell you. Its very private and your parents cant find out because its confidential. www.plannedparenthood.com

 

find one near you and good luck <3

It is my understanding that Herpies "1" the oral herpies is a bunch of bumps or group of acne like breakout.  Herpies "2" genital herpies is a single large bump much like a large zit. The frist time someone gets genital herpies they get sick real sick (like worse flu you ever had sick) Three months is a long time between contact and and the FIRST break out.  I'm no doctor.  It's best to just get tested.  Or ask some face to face questions with someone you know is a health care professional.  I could be wrong be a typical time line would be contact, a week later sick, a month after that the first break out. (again genital herpies) Also just FYI the ads you see on TV may not have all the details. Remember their tring to sell something!
reply

listen i feel real bad but if u really wanna be treated older and with respect my opinion is u should tell ur mother and since i have that kind of relationship with her i also think u should too. it would be very important that u tell somebody before it get worse but like i said, im srry 2 hear that hope u do something bout it very soon.

Hi hunny,

The same thing happened to me through oral sex. I have oral herpes on my genitals.  It sounds like you do. I was with my boyrfriend and he never showed any signs. You should definantly go to the doctor, find a planned parenthood in your area and talk to them.  They are very knowledgeable, call 411 and find one and you can even talk to them over the phone.

reply

It sounds like you definetly have Genital Herpies! Your only 14 it sucks that for the rest of your life you will have this problem definetly tell your mom! If you dont bad things can happen, also DO NOT SEE THAT GUY ANYMORE! Sorry for the bad news
reply

ALRIGHT, IM 17YRS OLD AND I RECENTLY STARTED DATING THIS GUY WHO DIDNT SHOW EITHER.

BUT I AM ALSO GOING THREW THE SAME THING.

WHEN I GOT CHECKED IT WAS ONLY A CHECK UP. THE DOCTOR TOLD ME IT IS MOST LIKELY GENITAL HERPIES..ITS GONNA HURT AT FIRST WHEN YOU GET THE NEWS BUT AS SOON AS YOU ACCEPT IT LIFE ISNT OVER. IM STILL WITH THE SAME GUY BUT IM STILL NOT SURE WHAT I HAVE. THE DOCTOR ALSO TOLD ME IT COULD BE A YEAST INFECTION...SO PRAY FOR THE BEST....BUT YEAH, FOR SURE TELL YOUR MOTHER SHE'L BE THERE 100% TO HELP...SHE IS YOUR ONLY SUPPORT SYSTEM!

reply

yes u can go by yourself you dont need a family member for that becuse thats something that u have to check up on about by yourself. And the only thing that u need to bring with u is your medicate card and go while the bumps are still there because they want be able to test for it only if the bumps are there. AND IF U SEE THAT U DO HAVE IT TURST ME. BUT DONT BOTHER ABOUT IT BEACUSE THE BUMPS WILL GO AWAY THEY ONLY COME UP WHEN U ARE STRESS OUT. SO JUST KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND. THERE IS NO CURE SO ITS WITH U FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND ALWAYS WERE A CONDOM WHEN U DO HAVE SEX.

I'm positive I contracted Herpes from a one night stand with a friend. I've been tested for other std's and all is ok with those. I've done all the reasearch so I know about HerpesI guess I'm looking for men who have had a similar experience.

I came across a support section like some herpes dating support site. That forum is the best I've found and people would answer your questions by all means. I've felt so much better since I found it. Thank you so much http://herpesmates.com

About two weeks ago  i was with this chick who has herpes or whatever. Of course i asked if she had an std and like a liar she said no. So i gave her oral and she didint tell me she had it untill today. So my question is can i catch it while she is not having an outbreak or whtever they are called.
reply

Well I understand you, its very scary that you might have it and im in the same boat... like i found out i have herpies and well... its not fair how i got it and im worried about if people find out that i have herpies im going to be pushed away and be called dirty and other things and im just not that strong to take that... my parents asked me how my doctors appointment went and i broke down crying and they were really supportive.. my sister understands completely and she told me that it will be alright and that people live with it and still enjoy life and honestly i dont know how i can... I was even thinking about killing off the jerk that gave me it and then killing myself off too but my family told me that its stupid to think like that because maybe in a couple of years they might come up with a cure....So my advice is tell your mom, its not something she would get mad over, Im sure she would understand and comfort you as best as she possibly can. Its an important thing to tell her because she could get it from you if that is what you have... Your not alone remember that.

Hi Dolly;

I am sooo sorry this happened to you and you are very brave for trying to find help on your own!  But you don't have to...I have been through a lot with my girls.  I love them to pieces.  I got mad at them sometimes for not doing their chores or being disrespectful.  These were LITTLE things.  I NEVER ever got mad at them for coming to me with their problems, especially if it was around their sexual health or intimacy.  No matter how old they were, I was their Mom and I was always their to support and care about them!  So Dolly, it's been a while since you posted.  I hope you have found out it's something easy to cure or that you have told your Folks and they have helped you.  Pls let us know how it turns out...

 

If other Girls or Boys(or even Mom and Dad's if they are single and sexually active, like me) are still reading and are in the same boat, remember your parents(your children) love you above all else!  Nothing could ever stop them from loving you! Pls tell them and as a family you can go through this healing process.  It may make all the difference!!!

It is absolutely possible to get herpes from oral sex.  Two viruses cause herpes - HSV 1 (for herpes simplex virus 1) and HSV 2.  HSV 1 typically occurs as cold sores on the mouth and HSV 2 typically occurs as genital lesions but you can get either virus anywhere on your body if exposed to it.  It is entirely possible to get HSV1 (or HSV 2) only on your genitals even if you were exposed to it on your mouth as well.  There are medications (such as Valtrex) that treat both HSV 1 and 2 and they are most effective if started as soon as symptoms start.  HSV 1 and 2 infections are not "curable", meaning you will always have herpes, therefore it is important to find out if this is what you have (sounds like it is).  Your doctor can also test you to see if it is HSV 1 or 2.  In many states minors can be tested and treated for STDs and/or pregnancy WITHOUT parental consent.  In this case it would be illegal for your doctor to disclose STD/pregnancy information to anyone, including your parents.  To find the laws for your state, you can google "emancipated minor", or try this website http://www.law.cornell.edu/topics/Table_Emancipation.htm

reply

Sweetie try to find a health department, and call and see if you can go check it out without your parents.  If not they may be able to help you further.  Hang in there!  And try to find someone you can confide in.  I wish you the best sweetie.
reply

You can harbor herpes for years and not know it!

I was married to my husband for 5 years and during my last pregnancy I started to show the symptoms of herpies.  I was checked and it was! And I was shocked.  I had not cheated and my husband did not have it.  But then I learned you can have it and not know.  I just thought I would share my story.

helo, My friends has same issue with you. maybe you can ask her! She is a member of the STD dating site http://www.STDromance.com

There are two types of herpes type 1 and 2. You can visit Valtrex.com for lots of information...You can visit the free health clinic where you don't need a parent escort. Type 1 is oral which is common among most people example fever blisters. Type 1 can be transmitted through oral sex which leads into having genital herpes type 1. It is less likely to have an outbreak because type 1 hates to live down below. Type 2 is sexual transmitted but could lay dormat for years and you may not ever have an outbreak.  Please get your self tested..If the results are positive they can put you on supressive therpy which is just a pill a day to protect you from having outbreaks or speading the virus..
