Panda_9791 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I have always wanted to ask about this topic... since i have cold sore from time to time... So to all the Bros here, when you or your partner has cold sore, do u still kiss or blow them? I know kissing will definitely transmit cold sore. But i'm concern that if i see my partner having a cold sore, will he blowing me give me herpes? Since cold sore is herpes type 1... Quote Koh Samui, I need u...

erection day Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Bad news first. Herpes such as cold sore stay with you for life. Its chance of recurring and rearing its ugly head depend on one's immune system. Some may not show up again for life. If someone shows sign of infection, please refrain from any sexual or close contact with him. The chance of re-infection is very high. Do correct me if I am wrong. Remember always play safe. Lovemaking can wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be Tpe 1 or 2.Genital herpes are those at the genital areas. They can als obe Type 2 or 2.Some people may show no sypmptoms and one way of testing is to do a herpes blood test which is available at DSC clinic.

subbtmchn73 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Hi Guest, no worries. Cold sores are easy to recognize. It usually occurs on the lips and around the mouth area. From far, it may seem like a bad acne/pimple, but on closer look, it looks like a mini cluster of air bubbles/pimples. So cold sores are very different looking from ulcers? I often have ulcers and so does my brother. I did some research online and some say it can be heriditary and medical not sure what cause it.But one of my friend who used to work for many years in DSC in singapore say it is a cold sore, although i think he didnt even see my ulcer. I was quite upset. but till now i still not sure is a cold sore around the mouth the same thing as an ulcer.My ulcer is usually like a white circle. It does not look like acne/pimple to me. I also get it when i bite myself. Although sometimes it just appear when i am heaty. I avoid kissing and oral sex when i have it. But i do sometimes kiss the body like on the chest.

Guest GoneWithTheWind Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I see so many comments arguing whether those ulcers are herpes or not. Just go to DSC to do- blood test- culture test if the ulcer just appear or even better if the blisters havent break as culture test is still the gold standard before blood test appears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dienasaw Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Just bought and tried a core sore patch that helps to treat cold sores and hides the blisters from general view. Got it from a pharmacy in UK for about 7 pounds (about S$21), the brand is Compeed (by Johnson & Johnson), 15 patches, so one patch is about S$1.40, not cheap lor. Not sure if it's available in Singapore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wala_x02 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Regarding cold sores, one should refrain from oral, rimming and even kissing during this period. (Apparently it spreads only in these areas, cos its where the skin is the thinnest). Yea, if taken care of properly u shouldn't be able to transmit that to your partner. Speaking from personal experience, i've been with my ex for 3.5 years and whenever he has a cold sore relapse, we'll abstain from any sexual activity until the sores are gone. He used to take this antibiotic or is it a steriod (can't recall the name) he'll pre-empt it before the cold sore goes into full outbreak, and it'll clear up in 3 days. Perhaps u should go to DSC to find out. All the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is usually taken for those with early symptoms of blisters/ulcers and also prescribed for those with frequent recurrences of herpes attacks.

Guest tata Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Why worry so much? In gay saunas darkness you cant see anything but got screwed, being bj and kissed. Even in broad daylight, when you visit your new boyfriend home or go motel with him, how to reject him when he stripped and you found growth down under? You are already committed once in closed door with him. You just got to let him finish his job or you finish your job.

Guest HSV carrier Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 herpes can be transmitted whether symptoms are showing or not. of course chances are much higher when the other party has an outbreak.you could have the virus without ever developing any symptom or suffering from any outbreak.as such, you could pass the virus to your partner without even knowing itthere is no way for the doctor to ascertain where, when and from whom you get herpesand if you do get it, do not accuse anyone of passing it to you, as you could have got it from anyone, at anytime in the pastherpes can be a major inconvenience but it is no big deal. more people have it than they realize. barocco80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retinoid Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Depends on where u have it... but in general herpes doesn't surface everyday, just now and then especially when you are stressed out and dont sleep well.for oral herpes, just make sure you dont kiss or share food and utensils with anyone when the outbreak is on or when you can feel it coming.for the genitial ones, just make sure you practice safe sex.

Guest max Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I have had fun before and so far, all my HIV tests are all negative. However I have had pubic lice once, and was really traumatised that I have been a host for these little creeps.I googled for solutions, and havent' seen any after treatment. However, each time I itch on any part of my body, I have this fear that I didnt totally get rid of the eggs or lice.Since then I had stop having fun totally because HIV is not the only threat. There are many others such as herpes that are not so easily detectable, or could be latent inside the body.I do not want to infect the ones I love, be it bf or family members.My question is, has anyone done a TOTAL STD test (which tests for every STD)? How much does it cost, how long does it take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
