A lot of information about foods to eat and avoid are confusing. They say beef, chicken, and lamb is ok to eat, but on the other hand stay away from hamburgers. Can someone elaborate on the food issue?

I really hate the politics of this whole ordeal. Even though this virus is not life threatening, it has caused so many people an emotional heartache.

Thanks

Definitely

Has anyone heard about the experimental drug for herpes called Pritelivir?

Thanks for the info

Yeah I know that there is no cure, but there's nothing wrong with having right lol.

Thanks 2legit2Quit, I see that u are very knowledgeable about this. I am trying to educate myself about hsv as much as possible.

Has anyone seen this guy on YouTube videos who says that you can cure hsv by eating and juicing raw fruits and vegetables. He states that oregano oil with the combination virgin coconut oil will wipe the virus out of your system completely? Is this a hoax?

Hopefully in time we all will heal from our emotional wounds.

I totally agree

Thanks!

The ignorance of people when it comes to hsv is mind-blowing. They think that we are nasty, filthy, and unclean just because we have this virus. They don't know that this virus is a result of direct skin to skin contact not from bacteria or being unclean. I've always took pride of my personal hygiene habits so I don't consider myself filthy. I really hate the stigma of this disease!

Right!

I've been reading up on using olive leaf extract for combating herpes. The article even stated that it can help with herpes viral shedding. Has anyone taken olive leaf extract and are u having any luck with it?

Me and my uncle were sitting around just talking about different things and he brought up a conversation concerning someone he knows has herpes. Well he doesn't know that I have herpes because I hadn't told but only three people. He went on cracking jokes which made me feel awkward. I quickly changed the topic of conversation. Well about two weeks after low and behold, he develops a cluster of cold sores on his lips. Talk about instant karma lol. People need to be careful of what they speak on because who knows, you just might end up being just like the person who u were making fun of.

Ok so let me get this straight, almost everyone has had chicken pox as a kid. So that virus remains in your body indefinitely and can resurface later on in life as shingles which is a form of herpes. My question is, how is it that they can make a vaccine for shingles, but cannot make one for hsv1 and hsv2?

Hi, looking for an H buddy in the Memphis, On and surrounding areas to talk to

I've had hsv1 ever since I was a kid. I now have hsv2. I contracted hsv2 about six years ago and I must say that it devastated me. I am not quite sure but I believe I contracted it from my now ex wife. On the day of our divorce we had sex, I know it sounds crazy but yeah anyways, three days afterwards my body started feeling really weird. I knew something was wrong. I didn't get an initial outbreak until a week later. Now that was a double whammy, a divorce from the woman I truly loved and to be hit with the news that I now have hsv2. I've managed to finally accept it but I still have days where I get depressed. As time goes on I've noticed that my outbreaks are few and far between. So I just want to say this, the worst part of this virus to me is the embarrassment. The physical part of it really doesn't bother me. So keep your head up, things will get better with time.

Why is hsv1 accepted as just a cold sore or fever blister, but hsv2 is considered to be the worst of the two?
