Hey everyone, so I’ve had herpes for about 6 years now and only experienced an initial outbreak to my knowledge. I was feeling fine until I had sex with my partner and it dry causing a little friction. Since then ( I have been experiencing itching and burning with heavier white discharge than normal. Now I’ve investigated the area and saw no sores. So now I’m confused and don’t know whether this is an OB ( I’m asymptomatic) or potentially a yeast infection. The itching has decreased as I’ve taken oral probiotics for vaginal health. I take valacyclovir daily as well and have been doubling my dose. I guess my question is, is it possible to have an outbreak with no sores?

Hello, I’ve recently been having some abnormal test results which I would like to see if oth rap experienced the same while taking valacyclovir. Has anyone had any liver troubles since starting the drug? I would prefer to not stop taking it as my partner has not gotten HSV2 from me and I would like to keep it that way. Thank you in advance for any input

Sounds to me like u dodged a bullet girl! He seems as though he is a jerk! Why do you feel dirty. Having herpes has nothing to do with your cleanliness. You’ll get through this and it will make you a stronger person. If you decide to let this tear you down you are letting all those douchy people win. Focus on you because you want to. Take time to yourself because you want to!! Not because someone made you feel less than. At the end of the day we all bleed and no person is any more important than the next! You’ll get through this! You made it out of that abusive relationship didn’t you. That right there took the upmost strength and I have a lot of respect for you for doing so.

I found the following link helpful when I first started researching treatment. [withdrawn]

An all over itch or is it localized??

Initially when I found out I had ghsv2 I was like”omg, what am I going to do now?!?” Then I stopped and thought to myself...”am I dying??” no.” Do I have horrible symptoms that make me constantly think about this?!”, no and more importantly “is this really going to change my life for the negative?!” And once again the answer was no. It sucked when I first found out but you’re not going to die. I had the condition for three years before I was even diagnosed. I still love my life the same way, I just take suppression therapy now. Nothing in my life has changed besides the fact that I have to take an extra pill each morning. If you’re one of us who doesn’t have horrible symptoms and can live a pretty normal life aside from experiencing horrible OB’s be thankful. It could always be worse and I look at this as a way to weed out people who chose not to educate themselves fully on the condition and think that I have something that can kill them.

I don’t think you’re wrong in being upset! At the end of the day this is the person who you are intrrusting to help you when you need help. Yes he did this wonderful surgery that corrected issues for you, but you don’t owe him anything. If you do not like the way he is treating you I would definitely tell you to visit another doctor.

I’m going off my memory because I first and only outbreak was 3 years ago. I’m a woman so some of the symptoms may be different. I noticed tingling first but it was all over my body in random places and it wouldn’t last long. Then there was a change in my discharge which I initially thought was a yeast infection and it was itchy. Eventually I looked and saw sores and I knew what it was. When I got swabbed though they told me there were high levels of white blood cells in my discharge...I assume it was due to my body trying to fight the virus.

Hello, looking to give support and just chat if people want to talk. I’m a 25yo female in Missouri (Saint Louis area). I was diagnosed about two weeks ago but I was infected in May of 2015. Open to chatting with anyone! Just send a message! :)
