Hi all. If you're on suppressive therapy and get an IGG herpes blood test, can the antiviral medication skew the results, so that it appears you don't have the virus? I was tested in June and received a 1.50 IGM result and negative IGG result...then was tested again in September (only IGG) and received a negative result, but have been on suppressive therapy since July. Any insight here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
More severe outbreak months after initial outbreak, and while on suppressive therapy?

Hoping someone can help me understand this. When I was first diagnosed in May, my symptoms were super mild...very small bumps down there that hardly seemed like anything more than a small irritation. Over the last few months, I have been on suppressive therapy and experienced constant podrome symptoms and nerve pain in my legs and butt, but no actual outbreaks. Then, in September, I switched from Valtrex to Acyclovir due to the constant podrome, and experienced the worst outbreak of my life down there with multiple bumps and 2 lesions that looked like canker sores and are still healing (it's been 4+ weeks now). It's just mind-boggling to me that my symptoms are getting worse with each month while on suppressive therapy. Is it possible that the anti-virals are making things worse? Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure what to do. :(
