Question 1

could someone get eye herpes if someone with sores in their mouth breathes on them?

Accepted Answer

No: Herpes flares up in the eyes because it is already in that persons body.  You can only catch herpes type I from someone else if you are immunosuppressed.  Type II herpes is transmissible but requires direct fluid contact and this is unlikely in an ordinary breath. Also there are many reasons for sores in the mouth and your friend might have one of the other causes.

Question 2

i have large bumps on the back of my tongue, bad breathe, white patches on my tongue, and extra mucus. i have a feeling its oral herpes, if it is will i ever get my tongue back to normal and mouth back to normal. is there something i can take?

Accepted Answer

Probably not hsv: The symptoms of oral herpes are painful blisters, or ulcerations on your lips or the inside of your mouth.  Herpes does not cause any lesions on the tongue.  Make sure to brush your teeth regularly and consider seeing a doctor for the other symptoms as it could be a sign of another infection

Question 3

please tell me if you can get eye herpes if someone with sores in their mouth breathes on them?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: Herpes is spread by contact rather than through the air.  Most adult herpes is internal and not acquired from someone else.   If the contact is more intimate especially if involved in kissing or sexual activities, then spread is more likely.

Question 4

can a person get hpv or herpes in the throat. im not sick but my throat hurts sometimes and i feel like i've held my breath . i have hpv and hsv1.

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dr. can check.: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). A couple days of throat lozenges and tylenol (acetaminophen) can decrease throat pain.

Question 5

i have a rash on the left side of my back and chest in a line. it bubbled and it hurts to breathe. some say herpes others say shingles. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Shingles: One-sided, severe, burning/stinging/aching pain with an associated rash is shingles until proven otherwise. See your Family Doc to start meds: Valtrex, pain medication, and sometimes steroids. Hopefully, the process can be managed and aborted. The worst-case scenario could involve months of pain that need to be managed with next-level medications.

Question 6

can u get herpes on ur face?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Herpes on the face most commonly presents in form of "cold sores" on the lip or in the nose.  It can, however, present anywhere on the face as a cluster of bumps filled with clear fluid.

Question 7

can u  get herpes by giving oral sex?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: It is spread by contact so the answer is yes.

Question 8

can u get type 2 herpes from having oral sex with someone who has type 1 herpes?

Accepted Answer

If he also has Type2: One can only get type 2 herpes from another person with type 2 herpes. One cannot get type 2 from somebody who does not have type 2. So, the big question is, does he also have type 2? A visit to a primary care doctor can help figure that out, if worried.

Question 9

so if u have type 2 herpes and the other person doesn't they will get it for sure?

Accepted Answer

Herpes 2: Nope.  If you do not know where you are infected then it may be wise to start a daily medication to lower your viral shedding and make you less contagious. The medication is valacyclovir.

Question 10

when u get tested for stud and came out negative does that mean you don't have herpes as well or is it a separate test  ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: You need to ask what was tested.  Sometimes your doctor only tests for some of the STDs.  Herpes frequently isn't tested unless you are having symptoms.  Each STD has a different test.  Some are tested by drawing blood and some by getting cultures of the cervix.  Best wishes!
