Hi there, welcome to the website.  HSV can lay dormant for decades without popping up.  Most people get it from someone who didn't know they had it because they had never had any symptoms.  

Did your test have a numeric value?  Was it an IgM or IgG test?  

Don't worry about having this virus and having children.  Every day thousands of women who have genital herpes have babies with no problems.  As long as your doctors know about this it really shouldn't be a problem.

Good luck!

I think we are getting close to answer now. Let's be clear about this result... Was it a combined test for HSV-1/HSV-2 with just the one >5 result?

This website has been around in one form or another since 2000 and contains the best information you can find about this virus.  Also, the people who come here are the best too

Good luck!

HSV-1 >5 and HSV- 2 >5.  Yes its most helpful information hear I start breathing and very good people :-)

[WilsoInAus]

If this definitely a type specific test for HSV-1 and HSV-2 then yes this is very strong evidence of infection with both. Often people with HSV-1 already before they are infected with HSV-2 have no idea they have been infected. A fair proportion of people simply do not experience outbreaks. Your pimples as you describe them, may well just be pimples.

As a married couple though, it is best to simply forget about this, what do you want to be different about your lives to what you have now?

If you feel this still could be a testing error, then think about obtaining the Westernblot (if in US), start by discussing this with your doctor.

Thank you!

>5.00 means you've had it for a long time?

 

[WilsoInAus]

Greater than 5 may appear in IgG testing within a few weeks of infection with spikes being common as the body adjusts. Practically you can only say greater than 3 months.

Under the circumstances described, being infected for many years is probably the case.

Welcome to Honeycomb! I'm sorry you got a positive diagnosis and that you have been confused because of your experience. This is a great place to find lots of info about how to manage HSV. Visit often and read. Search the forums. Much good info in old posts. You are the only one who can decide if you should confess with your husband. If you are afraid of the ramifications or what you could find out, then only thing you can do is wait. As far as being afraid to touch anything or go out, you have to learn more about the characteristics of HSV and the human body. You'll have a good foundation through learning about the experiences of others, and then you'll learn how to manage the virus within yourself. To start, just wash your hands often (appropriately not OCD-like) and continue with your good hygiene. You'll loosen up and stop fearing touching things. You can go out when you begin to feel more comfortable and feel that you are gradually adjusting.

You take care now, and I'll see you around!

you can by fancy tablets from any pharmacy or go any fish store and get a jar for aquarium filter it what we do :-)

* calcium citrate , magnesium citrate,  must be citrate or organism wouldn't absorb it, just check for you r dose amount and  D-3 5000 a day

OMGoodness! Good luck with all of that!!! Maybe you've already had luck. Hope so. You deserve it! Question: why no soy, milk egg? I've wondered about soy and HSV. I take soy supplements for hot flashes, because it's supposed to work. Not really proven. Black cohosh works better, but supposed to be taken intermittently.

Hi Greatess Galore! here is  some good information about soy  http://wellnessmama.com/3684/is-soy-healthy/ so  NO soy :-)

 Corn and grains are bad for you

 "An average American diet consists of food products with Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratios of about 25:1.  Nutritional scientists report on laboratory experiments with rats that indicate chronic diseases start occurring and are detectable when the ratio exceeds 4:1.  The optimum ratio, and it's the ratio found in grass-fed animals, seems to hover around 1:1.  All grains have high Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratios.  Consequently a grain-based food system automatically means our nation's food will have an Omega-3 deficiency.  This means if Americans are going to win the battle against cancer, heart disease, diabetes, attention deficit syndrome, and a whole host of other aliments tied to foods too high in Omega-6 fatty acids, they are going to have to change their diets.  Obviously, no one food product can solve the problem by itself.  It means a big change. - See more at: http://www.texasgrassfedbeef.com/grass-fed-meat-education/corn-its-whats-bad-you#sthash.NC02655R.dpuf"

All supplements in  order to work right must be  pure.  I am not a doctor just posting what I believe good for humans body. :-)

Standardized supplements are supposed to be the best. Isn't that pure? 

Also, thanks for the Wellness Mama article on soy, but I think you should read through most of the comments. You'll find some very interesting info there. It's not as cut-and-dried, or as black-and-white as it's being made out to be. But then, we know that. One day something is bad, and the next day something else is bad and that thing is now ok. I do believe though, that corn and grains have now become bad for us, and that they weren't at one time.

I found this article to be interesting. It adds a lot to the one you shared on soy. In fact, I got it from one of the commentors: https://www.drfuhrman.com/faq/question.aspx?sid=16&qindex=5
