Can you become infected if someone who has it used something personal of yours (like a razor) and didnt think they could pass it to you without an outbreak?

Ive been celibate for two years now. Previously had been tested and came out negative. I live with my son and a family member who was rumored to have it. I noticed a few months ago my razor looked like it had been moved but I wasnt sure if it was just me or not as my memory isnt too amazing. Id shaved in the nethers prior to an appointment with my gyn as i was getting a pap and some other tests because im trying to get my body right to conceive hopefully sometime in the future as i would like more children when i meet the one. Anyways so I changed the razor head after this time once again noticing that this time it truly wasnt how id left it. About a month or two later i has two solitary bumps on each side of my outer labia and though okay ingrowns no biggy. Had reached out the my dr when i noticed the bump started bleeding. I couldnt come in to see her due to scheduling issues but she said it was most likely just ingrown. A few days later she called to say id been exposed to HSV-1 and that she couldn't tell me when it happened. I then started thinking could it have been this family member? Could it have been then using my razor not realizing or caring what they could possibly pass? Bumps disappeared and reappeared about 2weeks ago this time about 5 and i had low grade fever, back aches, and sore throat and painful nausea. I must have seen 4 doctors and i explained the whole situation to them and they all said the same…this was an outbreak and that it could have been transmitted via the razor. I have cried, ive had some very dark thoughts. I helped another family member through being initially diagnosed and it was horrible. Seein a grown man cry broke my heart and to hear him say i wanted to drive my car off the road and just be gone because who’s gonna want me, was devastating. I have those same thoughts and cry myself to sleep. From all you out there how did you get over this initial time and do you all think the drs are right? Could this have been from the razor?

Can I pass hsv2 through a kiss?

A while ago I found out I had hsv2 and apparently got it from my mother possibly from a young age. I was never aware until I got tested because I've had no outbreak or was I having any symptoms. I was in a relationship and we kissed some things happened and I just found out that she thinks I've passed my hsv2 her. Can I pass hsv2 through a kiss or cutt?.

I have read that the longer one has the virus, the less potent it becomes. Is this true? I've had hsv2 for about 35 years. I'm wondering what the chances are I could pass to someone if I am taking daily valtrex for suppression and following a diet that is recommended for anyone with hsv2.

Why do people list that they have HSV1 and Herpes. Or HSV2 and Herpes. Aren’t both Herpes? When I hear Herpes I think of HSV2

why would someone with only HSV1 want to date someone from this website? This virus is only an oral virus whereas Simplex !! is genital. Much different. Thanks!

Does herpes on the face look like acne ?

Two swabs came back negative and a dermatologist said it is rosacea but it started shortly after giving oral sex to a woman that had very sharp little hairs that were piercing my skin. It seems that I always get blemishes that look like pimples and more so since wearing a mask all the time during the pandemic. Does herpes on the face look like acne ?
