Not fair to say I posted the same thread years ago. It was discussed in this thread that I had a scare years ago, posted about it and then posted an update when the tests came back negative. This time is entirely different in that the tests came back positive. In hindsight I obviously wish I...

Pretty ironic (and ridiculous) that you would trash me based on your speculation that I will return to hobbying (which I won't) yet you say nothing about the women (and I assume there are lots of them) who keep working when they know they are infected with something. How come it is okay for...

Jessica, you are free to believe whatever you want, but pretty weird that you would make judgments about my honesty and concern for my marriage without knowing me. As others have pointed out, I was clearly making a joke (perhaps in poor taste) about seeing that other trolls favourite ladies if...

Thank goodness some members are smart enough to understand sarcasm.

That sounds like something you would do. I plan to be responsible and stay away from the hobby. I really only did it for BBBJ's and since that's not really an option now, there's no point. If I do return, I'll be sure to see all of your favourite ladies.

Many Thanks to Schlong, KoreanJames and many others who provided support and information.

Just posting an update on my status. I had a bad outbreak, but it is now clearing up quickly. Since it os HSV-1, my wife accepts that I could have contracted this in childhood since my dad had quite a few cold sores and that I either transmitted it to my own genitals, or maybe she did by...

I am almost positive that my wife has been faithful and, to be clear, I do not think I have passed anything on to her. I got symptoms within a few days of being infected and stayed far away from her. I agree that telling her about hobbying would be a mistake. I thought about coming clean and...

I think genital herpes is more stigmatized even if it is HSV-1. The issue isn't whether I should have sex ever again, but whether I am ethically required to disclose it. Most resources say I should disclose, in which case most ladies, like yourself, would then pass (can't blame them really) so...

This I believe. With so many ladies coming and going from the industry there's no way to ensure testing is done and even if ladies were tested monthly it doesn't mean they didn't pick up something in the last week or two. CBJ and, of course, CFS minimize the risk, but there's no way to...

Nobody I saw had a visible cold sore (I'm not that reckless) but it can be transmitted through shedding at any time, plus the SP could have had sores inside her mouth, so there's really no way to tell.

That is consistent with everything I have read, but the incidence of genital HSV-1 from oral sex seems to be on the rise. It seems that young people are becoming a little less likely to be exposed to HSV-1 in childhood (and therefore they don't acquire immunity) and that generation is more...

This is my first outbreak and a swab test at the HFC confirmed it is HSV-1

Definitely you. Too late for those of us who have it, but you may soon join us if you refuse to educate yourself on the risks or take them seriously. Even with your crappy attitude, I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Very painful and I have had many sports injuries (broken bones, torn ligaments)...

Like others on this thread I didn't really know how certain I could be about when I got it so I was hesitant to make definite statements, but the lesions were getting worse so I went back to the HFC yesterday and was told this. Glad that helps clarify and thanks for your good wishes.

You could be right, but I guess we all tell ourselves what we need to hear in order to justify our actions. Ironically, I avoided DATY and much kissing because I was afraid of getting something in or around my mouth which would have been harder to hide from my wife.

Not sure what your point is here. The only sexual contact I had in the 3 weeks before the outbreak (which is lasting longer and is way more painful than I expected) were BBBJ's from sex workers and there is no doubt in my mind that I picked this up from one of them. You're free to disagree and...

I think most who have HSV-1 just have cold sores. The genital version seems worse, although the virus is the same. You admit you wouldn't knowingly have sex with someone who has it. Doesn't that make it incredibly wrong if I were to visit you when I know I have it and not tell you and take...

I'm sure people with HSV-1 around their mouths don't disclose it, which is how I ended up with it down below. From everything I have read, once you have genital herpes (whether it's HSV-1 or HSV-2) you really should be disclosing it to sexual partners. I suppose if a sexual partner knows for...

I didn't get a blood test, but because I went to the HFC when I had lesions, they were able to do a swab and that confirmed it is HSV-1.
