[Anti-viral meds only during a herpes outbreak?]

When in relationships I go on suppressive therapy, I don't feel anything then. 

When off it I never get a full blown outbreak; I get that cigarette burn feeling and my body puts that back in place. Happens maybe once every 3 to 4 months. That's the most I've ever gotten, even being off therapy for 4 to 5 months. I've gone for gyno exams around times I feel those burns and my gyno sees nothing internal either. 

I would love if there was some kind of study of coalition between the frequency of outbreaks and how well your immune system handles it. 

Thank you, good feedback and agree, more data would be helpful. I think I too will do the suppression therapy when/if in a relationship.

I've gone off acyclovir completely (been 3+ years) because that shit gives me headaches.

Sometimes I can feel the virus stirring up in the base of my spine. Full-blown OBs are maybe 2-3 times per year.

So far no transmission ☺️

 

Thank you. This is helpful.

Has anyone used daily therapy to suppress and then gone off the meds to only use during an outbreak?  If so what was your experience? I’d like to know outbreaks without meds, how long on daily and then outbreaks after. What about transmission before and/or after. Just learning so I appreciate all the input. Thanks

 Can I ask you your opinion? I’m a man of my lower 50s and I’ve been working in the same building as this girl her last seven years she’s younger than me and I 15+ years very nice very religious and very much likes me and I very much like her we haven’t dated yet but we talked about hanging out .give her a hug last week for the first time 

What it is I don’t think she would turn on me tell on me as I don’t want my whole work to know!  Do you think it would be better to say something at the beginning so maybe it doesn’t hurt so bad if we get very close say or do I wait until I know there’s gonna be something very confusing subject for me thanks for reading 

I guess I left out the HSV 2

I would wait until there is a level of trust established and it looks to be going towards an intimate relationship.  I don’t imagine this is something a mature, stable person would share with your colleagues just because she decides it’s not for her.  Good luck. 

[Can I recieve oral anymore?]

I have the same question.  I was told that without sores it would be almost impossible to transfer to someone’s mouth.  I don’t know what to believe anymore. It would be good to hear what other’s experience has been.
