My hubby has had ulcers on his penis for about a week. They got painful and i told him to go to the GU clinic. He went earlier and he has got herpes.
Now we have been together for 4 years, married in November ;), and i was his first sexual partner.He is also very faithful and so am i. I on the other hand, being older than him, have been married before and have had other sexual partners.I have read that it can lay dormant for years, without anyone showing symptoms, so does this mean he got it from me. I do get severe itching every now and then, but put it down to thrush.
I feel awful. Bless the poor bugger, he is in pain and had to show "his bits" to a stranger.
Help Dawn xx

RE: Herpes
Do either of you suffer from Coldsores on the face? Its a form of the Herpes virus and can be passed on to others when a flare up is on the face and said person perfoms oral sex on the other person...

Hi Lilacdawn,
You ought to go and get yourself tested to find out whether you have herpes too, and talk to your doctor about your concerns.
RE: Herpes
I am going next week 😉

RE: Herpes
[color="#3366ff"][color="#000000"]There is a blood test called ELISA that can detect herpes even if you don't have symptoms at the moment but it can't say which type you have HSV1 or HSV2. But I also think that there are blood tests that can distinguish the two strains.
Herpes is spread to skin to skin contact, so maybe your husband had no sexual experience but if he made out with someone without clothes (or something), he could have gotten it.
