So, got a "friend" that is thinking about getting back in the "game"...What "signs" can he/she look for if sex is on the table in regards to herpes or any other std?....

Herpes as you probably know is a virus and you never get rid of it, it can lie dormant for years, being run down, even depression/diet can bring about a bout of it


Have you tried lysine? Some have had great results using 1500-3000mg/d. Other than that you can pick up some Acyclovir at ADC or Reliable RX fairly cheep.

None. Well if you see warts, blisters, discharge of any sort I'd say get your $8 back or ask for a new hooked.

Seriously HSV can be spread through what is called Viral Shedding and the person does NOT have to be in the middle of a breakout. It's higher chance of passing if they are broken out.

Also keep in mind if you get HSV you are more susceptible to getting HIV. I do not know the technical connection but from what I understand They run on the same pathways or?? Not sure what its called. I am sure RN Mike can clarify and correct me if I'm wrong.

Now question for the crowd I used to think HVP was life long also being a virus but I thought I read that some variations men can clear out after around 2 years. I could have sworn i read something crazy like that and it made no sense. Thoughts?? Legit thoughts please.

I live the HSV rollercoaster so this is true and dear to me but I live a pretty good sex life so it doesn't have to slow you down.

As many of the others have said, Valtrex will be your first line of treatment.
And from here on out on a routine daily basis, you’ll want to take 1gm of L Lysine. It really does help to reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks.
Initially, Herpes will typically make you sick as all fuck for a good minute, and flares will be a bit common. With the passing of some time — a year and beyond, it will usually remain in remission for lengthier periods of time, and severity of flare ups often lessen in severity.
Good luck to you — you got the gift that keeps on giving now :-/

Herpes is a DNA virus and HIV is a RNA virus. It's not something that clears up after 2 years.

You can also use Valtrex for shingles if you didn't know.
