How many outbreaks do you have?

Hi, I’ve had HSV for 1.8 years, and my triggers are sex and menstruation. Almost every time after sex i get an OB. Since taking valacyclovir, I’ve had zero outbreaks. I recently stopped and the symptoms were the same. I’m so scared this pattern will be forever

Herpes makes me so depressed

I have had HSV-2 for 1.8 years. Without suppressive therapy, I always have outbreaks after sex or menstruation. My symptoms are mild, but they make me feel very sad. I’m afraid this will last forever, especially since I’ve already been living with the infection for almost two years. Fortunately, I don’t have any outbreaks while I’m on suppressive therapy, but I hope I won’t have to take it for the rest of my life. Do you think the symptoms will become less?

Taking valaciclovir forever

Hi, I’ve had HSV2 for 1.8 years, and my triggers are sex and menstruation. Since taking valacyclovir, I’ve had zero outbreaks. Is it safe to take it for the rest of my life without any problems? I’m so afraid that I’ll have these triggers forever. 😔
