How will HSV-1 change my life?

I was kissing my bf who had a cold sore in his mouth, but we didnt know it was a cold sore. We did make out. Now I fear that i will get it, though it has been 4-5 days since that happened and there are no signs yet. I'm really scared/worried about it to the point that i cant sleep because the doctor just told him yesterday that it was a cold sore. I feel scared and alone in my family because they dont know about my bf, and I am afraid of what this will mean for the rest of my life.How will HSV-1 change my life?
If your family can't except that you are a young woman then THEY need to grow up. The world isn't all starshine and rainbows and they can't keep you under their thumbs telling what you can or can't do, and if they thought they could, well, tough sh1t . . . tell them that



Ok a doctor will know a herpes blister when he sees one (they don't train for 7-12 year to get it wrong) and if the doctor thought it was something to be worried about he would have sked for a sample of it from your boyfriend. People who come into contact with the virus can develop an outburst from 2-30 days. Thought it can lie dormant. If you did have, there are treatments you take to keep the outbreaks under control. Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 is only transmittable when having a cold sore/just about to have a cold sore/ or have just finished having a cold sore.



If anything because people who suffer from the virus need to keep the outbursts at bay then they normally are among the healthiest people. It doesn't mean it will change your life.



The only way Herpes can spread ';down there'; is if you let your boyfriend perform oral when he is having an outbreak/about to/finished. The virus is in the cold sore.



But if the doctor never said anything to your boyfriend then I wouldn't worry too much about it (assuming he is telling you truth).How will HSV-1 change my life?
It shouldn't change your life. All HSV does is cause sores once in a while. But be care full about having oral sex. It doesn't do any thing else to your health. If he has a cold sore don't let him give you oral sex. Cold sores are nothing much to worry about but they are contagious during an out break, but they are not always 100 percent passed on. Cold sores are contagious and they can be passed from mouth to genitals if oral sex is given when there are any signs of a cold sore.

Cold sores are very common to have. If you didn't get them from him you most likely got it by being innocently kissed by some one that has cold sores.
