I am looking for any helpful advice. I have oral and genital HsV1 and until about a year ago I had the typical recurrent outbreak of once every 3-4 months. Now these outbreaks are out of control.. A new one every day. As soon as one heals another one forms. Already on Valtrex 500mg daily. Has anyone known of this happening and then subsiding or is this going to continue to get worse and worse. I sleep at night. Take lysine. Avoid chocolate. Use coconut oil. What can I do?

Have you seen a doctor about this? Perhaps there is another issue that is occupying your immune system allowing the herpes virus to run wild. The only other thing that might cause this is additional stress. Has anything changed in your life to add stress?

Its rare for this virus to get worse over time. For almost everyone the longer they have it the better it gets.

I'm under stress all the time but actually less stress then I have been in years. I'm a nurse work full time. Been tested for Hiv and negative. I'm just wondering about antiviral resistance. They say it's not likely but is it possible?

I have never heard of anyone building up a resistance to antivirals, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Has your doctor considered upping your dosage?

You seem to be doing everything correctly, hopefully you can find a doctor who can diagnose why this is happening to you soon :)

      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
