I have had them since I was born. This usually happens by when somebody that was infected handled you as an infant and infected you. For me it was most likely my aunt as she is the only person I know that has HSV1.

I am the only person who gets it in my family and I had it since I was a baby. I have no idea how you gets it.

A year and half ago my entire inside of the mouth swallowed up and couldn't even drink water any longer. Dr. called it Oral Shingles. He said I may came cross with chicken pox virus. They can't do too much though, other than giving tylanone 4 and medical mouth wash to reduce pain and pills ... still takes long time to heal.

I had it since a child. Most likely from my mother, she gets them as bad as I do.

I'm not sure how mine developed, but I have a couple of ideas. I kissed a guy on New Years and that's possibly the cause, but I also developed a DVT (blood clot) in my leg around the same time, which I'm being told could have brought it on through stress.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
