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 t do a whole heck of a lot for cold sores, especially if symptoms have been there for several days. at this point even acyclovir orally isn't going to do a whole lot either. no idea why they prescribed an antibiotic for you. not sure what the last medication you listed is for.
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 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 m tn 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. I get the medicine and the wart goes away in 3 days.
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 t know what it was at the time and my test results were all negative except for hpv type 11 and hsv 2 at 1.3. I had no symptoms for hsv 2 but I had been reading that hpv might show up and be easier to contract if hsv 2 is present. However, the doctor in Mexico prescribed acyclovir 200 mg 4x a day.
Avatar n tn it seems to be negative for hsv1 n hsv2 for me....but positive hsv1 for her....so how?
Avatar m tn I did the 2nd test via another doctor. Aren't they the same IGG test that differentiate type 1 and type 2? How different are these 2 tests? What are their names? The best way is still to go for the same test center and do the same test? If the positive comes back high, that means I get it? So far, I had protected sex, even for oral sex but with a person that I dont know her sexual status in May last year. Is there chance to contract gonorrhea with protected oral and vaginal sex?
Avatar n tn My ex BF clearly lied about the Cialis. Is he lying about the Acyclovir? Do DRs regularly prescribe Acyclovir for just cold sores on the mouth? He gets angry whenever I try to talk to him about it and we are not speaking at the moment. Why be angry about this unless he is lying? I am just so upset about all of it but he is denying HPV 2 and angered at me for questioning him.
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 a pap test wouldn't reflect an external hpv infection. a normal pap in july just means that you didn't have anything causing cervical cell changes at that time. a regular pap doesn't check for hpv routinely either to know if you have a cervical hpv infection or not too. have you had your gardasil shots? your partner tested negative for herpes so no reason to think you have herpes. a week's worth of a subtheraputic dose of acyclovir wouldn't affect test results either.
Avatar m tn I went to the dr the following day and he gave me a blood, urine, and culture test. I am still waiting for the results. He also prescribed acyclovir for ten days. I took the first pill right before I went to sleep. When I woke up, I checked the progress of the two bumps and they were almost gone. Two days have passed and theyre entirely gone. My question is this: Is it possible for acyclovir to work that quickly?
Avatar f tn if this prescription was in anyway helpful for HPV I'm sure it would already be prescribed to help people with genital warts.The fact that your or anyone else using this cream was able to relieve their genital warts might just be coincidental. Theres no way of knowing whether if some anti-viral medicine for another infection may or may not help out a certain infection.
Avatar m tn HSV 1/2 IGG Herpeselect HSV 1 IGG Type Specific AB---0.18 HSV 2 IGG Type Specific AB---0.02 10/1- Urolologist said no HSV-2 based on blood serum test. D/C Acyclovir on 10/1. Still have itchy red testicles and itchy pubis, buttocks, and anus but to lesser degree. 1) Is DNA Swab test conclusive diagnosis of HSV-2? 2) If so, how can that test result be reconciled with negative antibody test taken 14 weeks after exposure? 3) Should I take another blood serum test?
Avatar m tn If you are going to continue a relationship with this person you should confirm exactly what dose of acyclovir they are on. If they really are only taking 200mg once a day that isn't enough to reduce your risk.
Avatar m tn My doctor said that these two diseases are somehow intertwined, since the HPV only manifested as soon as I got the herpes virus - I know exactly when I got it. I treated herpes with acyclovir for 5 days. But I do think it was too short of a treatment.
Avatar f tn t it generally more serious in women? 3. I understand HSV2 is considered a co-conspirator in cervical cancer for women with HPV. I had a positive HPV dna test in 2008 and a negative result in 2009. I don't know where this leaves me in terms of cervical cancer risk, and if this is another reason I should take additional steps to avoid herpes. Thank you.
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 I had have a rapid test full blood extraction done on me for HIV which came back reactive. After that, i had done several lab based tests (EIA, ECLIA) which have come negative. Last test was 4.5 months after initial rapid test Anyway, i do have a partner which has just developed a painfull & itchy rash in the middle of her back. Just today she noticed a small rash (not painful, not itchy) in her left foot also. She believes its shingles...
Avatar n tn but i was in sort of denial beacuse i know iam in a monogamous realtionship and i believe in my husband completely. and she gave me medications i think acyclovir for one week. then from that time i never had any outbreak until recently 2 months back i had a small single polyp. i went to gyn and i also done my pap smear at the same time. adn i asked her about the polyp. she said its nothing and she squeezed it so hard with tweezers. i was so angry as how can she do that?
