:idea:

Wonder if anyone has tossed the idea of the non-h partner taking suppressive therapy as well as the infected person to help avoid transmition? Has anyone read anything about that?

Thanks...Colleen

I didn't hear it' date=' Angela. Just was thinking and it popped into my brain. Doesn't it make sense to you?[/quote']

I just don't see how a herpes antiviral is going to benefit somebody that doesn't have herpes, ya know?

I would think it makes sense. I heard that early use of drugs like valtrex has an effect on the later virhulence of outbreaks.

If you take valtrex it may have a preventitive effect or at least lessen the strength of future outbreaks.

Yup...exactly what I was thinking, but I don't know enough clinical information on Valtrex to conclude that it would be possible. I know there are people here that know exactly how it works, so if someone could re-post that, it would be very cool.

      Czy to opryszczka?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @Zrozpaczona9 that looks like folliculitis to me, that’s independent of the question of herpes. The doctor is wrong in the sense that a negative IgG test is beyond reasonable doubt that you do not have herpes. It is a small percentage of people for which a false negative occurs. The doctor is right to take a swab to increase your confidence that there’s no herpes present. I’m sure you’ll have your result soon.

      Czy to opryszczka?

      By Zrozpaczona9 · Posted

      Hey @WilsoInAus miałam dzisiaj wizytę u dermatologa, gdyż dostałam zmian w pachwinie, w trakcie wakacji nad morzem. Udałam sie tam ze zmianami w postaci strupów. Powiedział ze nie można wykluczyć opryszczki mimo negatywnego wyniku Hsv igg i zalecił wymaz z pochwy na Hsv i inne choroby. Wytłumaczyłam mu że zmiany zamieniają się w strup, ale nie ma w nich płynu, więc zalecił badanie śluzu pochwy na hsv PCR, zastanawiam się czy ma to sens, i czy wirusa można wykryć na podstawie tego badania w wydzielin z szyjki macicy. Z góry dziekuje za pomoc
