So my daughters first blood test came back within 24 hrs positive and after 8 days her PCR blood test came back negative. Now we've had 2 different results and don't know which one to go by.

Thank you all for your kind words and advice. Haven't heard back from the doctor yet about the results from the PCR test. We will definitely be getting a 2nd opinion either way. After reading many comments, reviews and articles she starting taking a vitamin c, zinc and L-Lysine yesterday and today she feels so much better. She's able to walk around comfortably and not in the horrible pain she was in. She still has her moments and breaks down in tears, it hurts me so bad and trying to stay strong for her and not cry is very difficult especially when your child is hurting both mentally and physically. We take it day by day at this point. Thank you all again

She's been on valtrex for the past few days but she only has 2 more days left. The doctor doesn't want her on any medicine until he is completely sure that's what it is or another out break comes. I think he's a little clueless when it comes to this. I've done a lot of research the past 3/4 days and I knew more than him. I've seen a lot of comments and reviews about taking L-Lylsine to boost up her immune system and help keep breakouts to a mimuim or none at all. As well with taking vitamin C and zinc daily. I've been staying very positive around her, helping any way I can. I'm the only one besides the doctor and her boyfriend that knows. She's not ready to talk to anyone about it or tell anyone. She's still in shock of it all which I understand. We are pretty close and she know I am there 100% and doing every thing I can to try to help her. I am however a total mess in private and when she's not home. Hopefully soon she will branch out for help and advice

2nd day for my daughter since we found out she's HSV2 positive and 1 week with symptoms. Any advice on what she can do to relieve the pain, she's having a hard time walking and she said it hurts so bad. Someone told me to give her L-Lysine. She has 3 more days on valtrex and the doctor said to wait to see if she has another outbreak. Any advice on pain relief, duration anything would be helpful. I want to help her as much as I can. Thank you in advance

Thank you for your uplifting response. Today is day 2 since we found out and she keeps crying, I feel so helpless. It's been a week since the symptoms started and she's still in pain and has a are time walking. She keeps asking me how long till this pain goes away and I don't have an answer. 18 yrs old and her first sexual experience, no intercourse and this happens. I think I'm a depressed as she is.

He didn't swab the lesions because the outbreak happened fast and they are healing quickly. She's still in pain and it's hard for her to walk. Waiting on another test, if that's positive than we will move forward. I just hate seeing her in pain and so upset

My 18yr daughter was diagnosed with HSV2 today, Doctor said her level is 1.8. HSV1 is negative. About 3 1/2 wks ago she had a pretty intense oral surgery for removal of wisdom teeth, had to be treated for dry sockets twice. She was on several medications, including antibiotics, pain medicine and ibuprofen. During this time she started to get oral ulcers, Dentist said it was common after a oral surgery. A few days later she was having problems with urinating, dryness and itching. She had a urine sample done and had a bladder infection. Then came vaginal ulcers. Back to the doctors again and they say it may be acute reactive aphthous ulcers which is common after a surgery and long doses of medication. Now after a blood test they say it's HSV2. We are both devasted. She says she has had oral sexual recently but is still a virgin and is adement about it. Both the doctor and myself believe her. Could it be possible this test came back a false positive even with having symptoms of herpes. It's all so confusing. I don't know if this is all from her surgery or she really has HSV2. I am 100% behind my daughter, I am not mad or angry. My heart is broken for her, she thinks no one will ever want her now and that she's damaged. Please some one help me with advice
