Hi everyone,

Having read some of your messages, I have to say that you sound like a great
bunch of supportive people. I am actually a bit of an interloper, as I live in
the Tampa Bay area, however, as I just said, I like your site very much.

Sooo, can someone one help me out on a couple of questions.....my boyfriend
believes he has genital herpes and although we have been careful, it looks like
I have it too. I am not mad with him, stuff happens sometimes.

Can anyone tell me, if we are both symptom free, can we have sex without a
condom without re-infecting each other more, as we both have it? I know there
are two different types, so let's assume with both have the same type.

The doctor I saw when I had my very small outbreak was very surprised that the
last time my b/f and I had sex was some time ago (he works away), as he said
symptoms usually manifest quite soon after an initial contact. On various sites
I have read that herpes can take months to show. I have had oral herpes on and
off through my life, but never genital before now, though I guess it is possible
for the virus to lie dormant for a long time.

I feel pretty well informed about how to handle all of this...like I say, stuff
happens sometimes. I am not interested in allocating blame, just hoping for
accurrate info. on management, etc

Last question..best reputatable sites for information?

Thank you, thank you everyone and best wishes to you all!

Cathy
