In the middle of 2010 I got HSV-1 on my genitals from my bf going down on me. I think like two days later i realized because we were about to have sex but when he went to go in it hurt me a little and then i had to stop because it hurt. Moving on i went to the dr. Asap n they gave me medication and it healed fine and i haven t had an outbreak since. But my problem is i have no sex drive at all. We went from having sex at least once a day to maybe twice a year now. I feel like im not a woman anymore. Is this something mental?
Hello, Welcome to www.ChatDoctor .com! I really appreciate your concern. From your description of the situation I suspect you are having fear or phobia of intercourse. I understand that in 2010 you suffered a lot. But that thing happens rarely. So don't feel that you will have herpes every time you have sexual intercourse with your partner. Transmission of STI is simply prevented by use of condom during intercourse. Avoid having unprotected intercourse with multiple partner. Sexual intercourse is itself an exercise beneficial to your body. So there is nothing wrong in it. Enjoy your sexual life without any fear. Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care. Thank you. Best Regards.
