Avatar m tn I have had herpes simplex type 2 (genital) for about 2.5 years. Acyclovir and lysine have reduced outbreaks dramatically. If I have unprotected sex with a partner who has been tested for herpes simplex 2 ( the test results indicate that exposure was quite awhile ago), will I risk causing my partner to have an outbreak? Will my partner's herpes cause me to have an outbreak?
Avatar f tn one day i went to go check the pills she gave me because i was on birth control and wanted to know if it would affect it so i looked up the name acyclovir to find out it was for the herpes simplex virus....i freaked out and called and asked them why they gave me a pill for herpes if i didn't have that and the nurse on the phone told me that its for more than one thing and that its best not to google things cause it give me false indications.....
Avatar m tn I'm a male and was recently diagnosed with HPV on my penis glans. It started as a single tiny pimple like bump on my penis glans. After starting treatment with imiquimod, the lesion started to disappear, but as soon as it did, three others appeared on the other side of the penis glans. And after those disappeared, another one appeared...Is it common to new lesions appear during treatment? To make matters worse, I am in an acute Herpes infection, already diagnosed.
Avatar f tn I went to Mexico to get tested for stds (on june 1, 2012) because I had a genital wart and was not sure what it was at the time all tests were negative except for hpv and hsv 2. For hpv I had type 11 and for hsv 2 I had positive 1.3. Shortly after my doctor prescribed acyclovir 200mg 4x a day.
Avatar f tn i had only 1 risk sexual contact and this person was also tested after 1 week of exposure and found negative for hiv and hcv and hbsag. the test that was used was elisa test 4. generation for bouth of us. is it possible that the result is false negative because of the acyclovir use (this person did not take any medicine at the time)?
Avatar f tn There are more than 40 HPV types that can infect the genital areas of males and females. These HPV types can also infect the mouth and throat. Most people who become infected with HPV do not even know they have it.
Avatar m tn When I first noticed the bump, I went to the doctor. He tested me, and I came back positive for HSV2. I started taking suppressive meds (acyclovir 800mg/day). The bump popped, diminished, then a month later came back, still no itch, no pain. I'm thinking this is a HSV2 outbreak and treat it with increased acyclovir. Time goes by and I'm asking questions on the HSV bulletin boards, and its not adding up. Finally I figure out it must be a wart.
Avatar m tn I went to the doctors to get checked out, and he took a look and prescribed me Acyclovir. I have been taking acyclovir for the past 20 days and my outbreak is still there no of the lesions have popped and gone away. I have been bringing a ton of water and not eating processed food. Shouldn't it have cleared up by now? This is my initial outbreak and like I said before it has been three weeks since the start of the outbreak now. Any advice would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn I agree that this is likely a false positive, but since you tested while taking the medication, I just don't know. If you were my patient, I would suggest that you take no herpes medicine for three months and, since you had a low positive the first time, get a western blot as you may well get another low positive since you are taking no medicine.
Avatar f tn You can also read the herpes handbook at www.westoverheights.com for more info, and you can also check out www.ashastd.org for some great herpes and HPV info, as well.
Avatar m tn HPV 31 is not contained in the HPV vaccine but the vaccine should help to protect you from infection with the types of HPV contained in the vaccine (the MERCK vaccine contains HPV types 6, and 11 which cause most visible genital warts and HPV 16 and 18 which cause about 2/3 of cervical cancer in women).. Regarding your HSV-2. Your blood tests are both positive and, presuming you were tested with a type specific test, I suspect that this is indicative that you have HSV-2.
Avatar n tn And it not possible to be HPV related disease, right?.....it just bump rash that itching,inflammed when rubbed, after few days...it becomes smaller again and black and slowly become normal skin.....
Avatar f tn I started taking acyclovir in June 2010 for episodes and then went on and started taking it in September for suppressive theraphy. The last outbreak I had was in November I have been having lesser outbreaks but when will I be outbreak free because I have been having outbreaks for 2 years and 3 months that is a long time to be still having outbreaks don't you think.
Avatar n tn Tested with elisa for hsv 1 and 2 igg and igm. Hsv 1 igg and igm came back negative. hsv 2 igm came back negative and hsv 2 igg came back inconclusive with a 1. what does this mean? I have been in a monogamous relationship for 2 years, have been tested before for hsv 1 and 2 igg and igm many times in the past and they all came negative.
Avatar f tn Thanks ladybug, but I am on diet for a very long time, but i know that it's not a healthy diet, I am suffering now for this feeling like deaf, but not, you think i have this swollen lymph nodes? Hi Grace, she did a pap test for HPV testing and she prescribed aldara. HPV testing is so expensive, i dont know if there's a test for herpes as well here too. I am afraid I will be deported. And I am in a muslim country.

Avatar f tn I am new to this board and so glad to have found it. I am a 48 year old female, and the uninfected partner in a discordant marriage. I have been with my husband for 3 years and married for 2. He contracted herpes a couple years before we met. I did not know he had this disease until he had his first outbreak, several months into the relationship. At that time, and on subsequent occasions, we discussed steps for reducing my risk.
Avatar n tn ve been taking it for OVER 15 years now, the Valtrex, valcyclocir (sp?) and acyclovir. I take them as needed. Not daily and it has wired wonders.
Avatar m tn I had a relationship with a woman whose sexual history I do not know. From October 2007 until May 10, 2008, we had unprotected sex in the area of 20 times.5 Days after my last contact, I tested with Labcorp for HSV 1 & 2. I had small bumps on the shaft of my penis and scrotum, which my doctor initally determined as HPV and froze. Test results - neg <0.90 for HSV1 and pos 1.17 for HSV 2 using the CAPTIA ELISA IgG test.
Avatar m tn My daughter was diagnosed with Behcet's in 2008. Then in 2009 she contracted herpes (hsv2). She is now having an outbreak of herpes (starting to get under control after 2 rounds of valtrex, back on acyclovir for 2 days) and a flare of Behcet's. Prednisone will make the painful vaginal Behcet's lesions go away but will cause another outbreak of herpes. Does anyone have any suggestions? She's about to leave for a required college trip. Thanks.
Avatar f tn My doctor was referring to a study wehre Acyclovir slowed disease progression in HIV by reducing viral load. And so he thought Acyclovir might have a direct effect (even if it is low) on HIV. Maybe he thought that by decreasing viral load antybodies would show up later than in the absence of Acyclovir?
