Donna asks…
help me i’m freaking out!?
someone please tell me what the first time having an outbreak of herpes is like? plus how long does it take for it to show after you’ve been infected?
i’m scared because i’ve got thrush like symptoms (well that’s what my mum thinks it is) but this morning when i woke up there were a few blisters.. although this might be from using savlon and emollient creams on it because apparently that’s not good.
i’ve been with the guy i’m with now for 8 months and before that there was only one other guy one time which was a mistake but we used a condom. ahhh

Your first breakout will be your worst, if its herpes that you have.
I was told by my doctor that it takes anywhere from a week to 6 months to show up after contact. BUT Ive heard other people say up to a year. I just know my doctor told me 6 months.
Also, condoms do little to protect you from herpes. Herpes is spread by touch. Think about it, a condom only protects the shaft of the penis there is still a lot of skin exposed.
Herpes is very painful. Herpes are blisters, and they usually are in clusters. Pain that I get right before a breakout are: pain in my legs or lower stomach or back, sometimes fatigue, and itching at the breakout site. Some people hurt so bad that they can hardly walk. It will hurt to urinate as well. A very strong burning sensation. They will itch really bad!! You having thrush though might cause itching too. Your best bet is to go see a doctor now while you have this “breakout” because it is much easier for them to diagnose you. Dont let them just look and say “oh you have herpes” because it is misdiagnosed all the time this way. Make them do a culture or swab and/or blood work.
Good luck and hope I helped.

Herpes can still be transmitted even when a condom is used

Yeast Infection, still? Help.?
I went to the GYN, Dec. ’06. She said I had a yeast infection. I’ve been treated 4 times with prescription pills and a suppos. cream because it never went away. Since my last treatment 2 weeks ago I’ve been fine until today. My discharge is back (white-yellow; clumpy and runny) and I itch again when I discharge. I’m not sexually active. I had “messed around” about 4 years ago with a guy.. and gave oral once. Every once in a while when I itch it, the skin become raw-like and bleeds a little. What else could this be? Could something else be showing up from 4 years ago? Could it be a bacteria growth? Before I ever got treated I had been itching for about 4 months. What could be symptoms of other things that sound like this? Please help, I have an appt. next week with my doctor, but I’m really nervous.
Other than this I’ve felt fine, haven’t been sick in who knows how long. I know when you scratch at something, the skin can always bleed or become raw, this wouldn’t be herpes right?

There are some excellent answers here, indeed women feel guilty for anything done that may be the contact of STD The Antibiotic has side effects that may cause, vaginal infections, it is good to check them out first, and have the Physician check you for any STD if you are worried. I can only add that gentle cleansing of the vaginal area with a mild vinegar and water solution and the rectal area as well eliminates a lot of the itching, that occurs even when no infection is present . Best wishes for the right answers. Get well soon.

help, I think My ex’s new girlfriend is doing voodoo on me?
Me and my ex broke up a few months ago and I kinda have a feeling its was because of his new girlfriend. We had a great relationship, he was even talking about marrage. Out of no where he started acting different and this girl shows up (she claimed to be a vergin)… By the way I know sex wasn’t the cause for the break up because I always ended up putting him to sleep…but after the break up me and my ex remaind as friends and he calls me his bestfriend (since I’m his bestfriend he told me that he found out the girl wasn’t even a vergin). They have a whole lot of arguments and he just keep going back. His family loves me and so does his friends. One day I was talking to his mother and she told me that she thinks his new girlfriend is doing voodoo. His mother found out that the girl is from Haiti (I have nothing against Haitians I know and love a few) and she’s very controling. One afternoon the girlfriend told his mother that she doesn’t like my friendship with my ex and she hates the fact that he is always talking about me and telling her what a perfect girlfriend I was. When my birthday was coming up my ex planned this whole surprise weekend trip for me which he told his girlfriend about. when my birthday came my cell phone froze for the whole weekend and everyone that was suppose to party with me came down with a stomach virus back to back for the whole weekend. On top of that a few months before this me and my ex slipped up and had sex 🙁 I didn’t mean for it to happen. A few days later I ended up with blisters. I went to the hospital (because I never had anything in that area) and they told me that it looks like herpes but I’ll have to wait for the test results come in. I’m a health freak I go to the doctor every 3 weeks just to get tested for everything (even thou I’m not sexually active anymore I still get tested). I was so upset with myself I know I got what I desreve, anyway I had these painful blisters for like 2 weeks, when I called the doctor to get my results they said that I didn’t have anything. I was totally clean from any STD. I asked them what could cause it and the doctor said that she don’t know what it was and what could cause the blisters. I told my Mom (she’s west indian) about what happened and she told me that back in the Islands she heard that some women “fix” or put voodoo on their vaginas so that if the man sleeps with another woman they would get symptoms of an STD. After 2 weeks of pain it went away but came back for 3 months straight, Now I haven’t gotten it anymore… By the way I’m no longer friends with my ex because I don’t know if this Girl is doing Voodoo…. Please help me!!!! Do anyone think this girl is doing Voodoo? If so please tell me how to reverse it or stop it!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Help Me… I don’t want it to affect my future with anyone else!

Paul asks…
How long should I wait before checking for Herpes symptoms.?
I had unprotected oral sex last night…I don’t really know the girl and I don’t want to go up to her and ask.
I really hope I did get herpes as I have no idea if she had or not but how long does it take for it to show any kind of symptoms of oral herpes? And what symptoms should I be looking out for?
I made a mistake. I hope I DIDN’T get Herpes
