(Rant) Hey guys. Just randomly found out that I got oral herpes. I’m not even sexually active but this news blow. My physician told me that it may cause some mouth blisters when you’re stressed or weather changes during the year. Apparently half of the world’s adult population have it. Still, not a good news to receive. Get tested y’all

Herpes is actually very difficult to diagnose. The blood test isn’t reliable. The most accurate way to diagnose is with a test from an open sore. But many people won’t actually experience a full blown breakout with sores. Plus herpes can be dormant for years without manifesting any symptoms. So all told, someone can be testing regularly and still not know they have herpes.

Regardless, welcome to the club. One in six people in the us have genital herpes. No clue what it is for oral but I would suspect similar or larger.

Oral herpes? Isn’t that cold sores? And shit, I got it when I was a baby, my aunt kissed me on the cheek and I got it that way or I brushed my face against her mouth back when I was like 1-2 years old

But to be truthful (knock on wood) I haven’t had a cold sore EVER, but it shows up on my annual physical.

I tested to have oral herpes long time ago, but it wasn’t because I was exhale but because of eating spicy foods and lol I got it since I was young also due to weather. My family got it too so oral herpes are not bad. As long as not second type of herpes (normally around your d***) that is not fun…

Chin up!! Oral herpes is suuuper common. Some people have the virus but never actually get sores. I have it and whenever I feel a sore coming on I take a bunch of L-Lysine supplements (can get OTC) which controls the sore from erupting so it’s not visible and halves its duration as well.
If you end up getting really bad sores, or have several outbreaks a year, your doc can also prescribe you antivirals which would also control the outbreak.

I’ve had this since I was a child. As does my mother and both brothers. It’s very common and one needn’t be sexually active to get it. My doctor has it for crying out loud. Ask your doctor for a standing prescription for valacyclovir and take it at the first sign of a flare up. Nothing to worry about.

This isn’t a big deal at all since ppl get this as children kissing their parents. it just sounds scary because of genital herpes, which is a different strain and more serious

Get well soon!!

I’m nervous that the antibiotics will affect my ability to conceive, but just as nervous ureaplasma will make it difficult as well. I can wait until next month and start over but I really don’t want to. Any advice

I empathize that it's more comfortable for us to hide behind our keyboards, but I also like a guy with guts and conviction.
