hi. i've been married for four years. with my first pregnancy i had my first genital warts outbreak. that was fun. i found out i had hsv 2 years ago through a blood test, but i never really thought i had it because there was never any physical evidence. there is now. i just had my 2nd baby 3 months ago and have had 2 OBs since then. i'm too scared to take valtrex due to the crazy side effects. my husband still has never had any symptoms. why do i keep having OBs but he doesn't?? and will it repress itself again or will i have to take the medication? this emotional stress is horrible.

have you taken the valtrex before? and YOU KNOW it causes the "crazy side effects" on you? or are you just saying this from reading other peoples post/ and such ?

its possible the 2nd baby changed your body, or caused your more stress then the first one, and triggered your outbreaks. also, the stress your having now, is feeding it. so you need to relax , or you will continue to have more outbreaks.

no i've never taken valtrex - the warning on the label is all it took to scare me away. i have a hard enough time taking tylenol, much less something that could do all that valtrex says it could.

i do have hpv, but the only OB i had of it was with my first pregnancy...i haven't had any since. now it's the hsv that's the issue. and i was fine during pregnancy - it's the after effects i guess. i just feel so gross. tainted ya know? and it's even worse that my husband has yet to have an episode of either of them. lucky him.

has anyone had adverse reactions to valtrex?

i suggest then that you try it, or try one of the other herpes rx's some people get side effects some dont.

if i read every side effect label i took i would never take any meds... like those commercials for heart med. " may cause, drossiness, impotence, leaky bowels, cancer etc etc etc" but seriously how many people actually suffer from every single thing listed as a side effect...

if anything start taking some vitamins, like b12, zinc, lysine (especially)

      How accurate is a blood test for herpes

      By scurrred · Posted

      I had an IGG test  and the ranges were out of range and high  HSV 1 was 42 and HSV 2 was 19 so I guess it was accurate but the problem now is I can't figure out when or who I got it from. In 2018 to 2019 when I was with my ex I was STD tested but not sure if herpes was included but my ex was supposed to get tested but refused. I experienced some trauma with him and didn't date until a year and a half later so I'm confused. The guy I dated after the ex who didn't want to be tested I told them a week ago about my results he was trying to be there for me and understanding,I told him to get tested but to request a herpes blood test , because he had no noticeable lesions or bumps ever is what he said and I never noticed any on him now he has shut down all his social media and I can't reach him. Hoping he's okay, I feel bad because in 2018 I did have what I was told it was an abrasion that tingled but at my doctor the day I was tested they told me it wasn't herpes but I think it was only a visible diagnosis. I keep having it reoccur from time to time

      HSV genital likely?

      By CHT · Posted

      Hello "FeelingLost".... your fears and concerns are understandable but, nothing you've described regarding the sexual encounter would cause you to contract herpes.... further, your symptoms are not herpes related.  Best of all, your doctor is correct, your results don't show any herpes here.  You can relax.... definitely have your GP take a look at things and see what might be causing the symptoms but, again, none of them are typical herpes related.  I wish you the best in terms of talking to your wife about this encounter.... hopefully she will understand and you both can work through this amicably.  We all make mistakes.... be careful not to beat yourself up too hard over this.... you can become so racked with guilt that you start imagining physical symptoms.  Best of luck.... and take care..... come back to the site if you have questions.

      HSV genital likely?

      By FeelingLost75 · Posted

      Hi (I’m really scared and feel really disappointed in myself and worried about my future), I had oral sex with a condom almost 3 weeks ago and a massage parlor. I also received a hand job at the same time prior to putting a condom on, also may have rubbed my penis on her back a little. Did not touch her genitals I don’t recall any sores on her back. After the event she handed me a pice of TP and after I took off the condom I wiped my penis head to clear away the excess ejaculation…this is where I suspect I got infected, she had just gone pee and wiped and maybe touched a sore or something and then I got it on my penis from the tp? Idk. I’m just flailing.   After this I’ve had discomfort on the skin below the head of my penis and 4 bumps for 2 weeks now, the bumps don’t seem to have changed in size. I also had frequent urination for about a week and have had dull pain in my groin on and off. I also have some pins and needles on the sides of my abdomen/trunk that get worse when I go out in the heat or get dehydrated. I’ve had a lot of trouble sleeping, likely due to guilt and shame and worry about the future.   so I got one test done at 10 days from the event (idk know if this can tell me anything… the doctor assured me it was 100% correct and I don’t have herpes. I was not physically examined). I got a full panel std. neg for everything. HSV-1 results: IgG 0.3 / HSV-2 IgG 0.9 hsv-1 IgM = 2.2 hsv-2 IgM = 3.0 (Reference V. Negative: Less than 9.0 Borderline: 9.0 to 11.0 Positive: Greater than 11.0) I have an appointment with my GP on Thursday, hoping he can help. Will likely go to a std testing service tomorrow to see if I can get in an antiviral proactively. Plan to get tested again this week.
