My significant other and I both have hsv2, so I don't fear passing the virus between us. I am on suppressive therapy, he isn't. My sex drive has gone way down since getting the virus and mostly I feel like a complete germaphobe now.
The questions I ask will be personal, but, who else can I ask? I ask for experiences, input, etc..
In the recent months after getting diagnosed I felt I had to shower after sex, wash my hands, wash the sheets. It got to the point where I made sex less enjoyable for the both of us because I was so obsessed about being 'clean'.
I hate myself for the way I act because it's straining my relationship so badly.
How do I calm down and just relax and enjoy myself again?

I'm on suppressive therapy with the Alcyclovir (zovirax). And while it's the only antiviral I've used since being diagnosed, the only difference I know about is Zovirax is cheaper with my insurance.. It does what it's supposed to, no outbreaks since being on it consistently.
As to your original question before I started the suppressive therapy two months ago, I did notice a correlation between outbreaks and menstruation, though my doctor denies any relation between the two.

I would also like to say I do not appreciate you changing the title of my post as this is a herpes forum I assumed it was implied. My mistake.
