I feel this post so much! I’m desperate for a cure, so much so that I almost bought a supplement I came across that costs hundreds of dollars and claims to cure you of herpes. My husband had to talk me out of it because it’s most likely a scam but I was willing to try anyway. You’re right about the medical community not knowing a lot. My doctors have offered no help and don’t really know what to do beyond taking valtrex. If it’s SO common why hasn’t anyone been concerned with finding a cure?

I got diagnosed with HSV 2 five years ago and ever since then I get constant- and I mean constant- vaginal infections such as yeast infections, BSV, and UTIs. Since this didn’t occur before my HSV diagnosis I’m convinced that having herpes has made me more susceptible to other kinds of vaginal infections. My doctor is at a loss for what to do for prevention. I take probiotics, I pee after sex, I wash every day with water and use an antimicrobial wound cleanser sometimes that isn’t disruptive to pH balance. My husband and I are very frustrated by these frequent other infections. I typically order online meds to treat whatever I think it is because I don’t want to go to the doctor every month/ few weeks. Sometimes I go in for expensive testing and sometimes yeast or UTI is present, sometimes I’ve already treated it and everything is negative but residual symptoms like burning are still resolving. I’m absolutely miserable and worried about aging with this crap since as I get older my immune system won’t be as great and I will be prone to infections even more. I worry about being in the hospital later in age and doctors won’t order my valtrex- I take 1gm daily- and I will be suffering and nobody will understand or care. I’ve seen my coworkers in healthcare act disgusted by this diagnosis when away from the patient. I just want a cure. I want to be free from this. I feel helpless. Does anyone have a regimen to prevent all this suffering? I’m currently having an outbreak after an illness and I’ve been feeling horrible for 2 weeks now. Thanks for listening.
