I recently got hsv 1 in my genitals. I am still in my first ob. I have trouble functioning day to day because I am so worried about accidental spreading it to other parts of my body or to someone else. I live in fear of having to go to the bathroom because I know I will have to touch down there. I am afraid of my dirty underwear and towels and after I take a shower I make sure to dry my genitals last, then feel the need to wash my hands. Am I being way over paranoid? Also what about when there is not an active ob?View Thread
