What doctor to see?

Hello!

I was first diagnosed with GHSV-1 by the NP at my college clinic. While I got along well with her, she was much more concerned about my birth control than the recent herpes diagnosis (plus I'm graduating soon and cannot keep going to this clinic). I am looking for a physician or nurse practitioner with experience with herpes or STIs. I was thinking a gyno would be best since I tend to notice symptoms around my period and my current birth control causes a lot of abnormal bleeding. If anyone has any insight I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

An gyno would be your best bet for sure. I think it is pretty common for periods to trigger an outbreak. I'm not sure if changing birth control would help this or not, but I would definitely ask since you are already having issues with what you are on currently.

 

Best of luck!
