How To Treat Herpes Simplex Type 1 Virus?
So my boyfriend has herpes simplex 1. We didn t have oral sex, but we somehow managed to transfer it to my vagina. As he was apologizing to me he promised that it would be the first and the last time that it broke out there and would later appear as less painful cold sores. Is that true? Also, how long will the pain/discomfort last? What are some ways to lessen the pain and/or shorten the effects?
