I don't wanna keep calling my doctor for every little thing. I've been on Acyclovir 400mg for about 10 days now. Had to take 2 a day for the first week and now down to 1 a day.
I'm currenty 28 weeks pregnant.
The pain down there has went down and I can finally wipe and pee without pain. I'm just a bit itchy down there and around my butthole (sorry tmi). I only get the occational sharp shooting pain that will last a few moments and feels like I am being ripped up down there.
their safety is well established and not an issue. the dose for acyclovir for the last month of pregnancy is 400mg 3x/day as you already know.
acyclovir is not the cheaper generic form of valtrex. Valtrex is an acyclovir prodrug which greatly simplified means that you swallow valtrex but your body converts it into acyclovir inside your body.
from 8 week to 12 week I was under high dose of acyclovir. I had a herpes break out and also 2 weeks after I got chicken pox. Therefore I went through longer acyclovir course.
Then I had my test at 14 week. It was a P24 antigen and antibody test (Hiv duo test) It came back negative but I'm still worried as high dose of acyclovir might alter the result.
Will it effect the virus replication and antibody production?
I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm guessing some of the women you've been with have been on the birth control pill. There is about the same chance that you'd get herpes from her as the chance that you'd get a woman pregnant if she's on the pill. If she takes it like most women do - not at the same time every day, etc., then you have a higher chance getting her pregnant on the pill than getting herpes.
If a female is the recipient of oral sex on the day discomfort begins, later an ulcer develops (PCR tests neg for HSV, CMV, etc) but serum IgG test is positive (5) for HSV2, (Neg for HSV1 & HIV neg) what are the chances the partner could develop HSV2 orally? What is the latest that symptoms could appear? (Partner has swollen nodes on day 15, no mention of oral ulcers or sore throat.
I live in Tennessee. My job post is actually a sitting down position except for rounds I have to make every hour... Outside. I thought about working at a call center, think I'll look into that. I am also concerned about job security switching jobs but I will likely keep my current job but I WILL need a part time one also so that I'm not living check to check. Thanks for all the suggestions!
I was not taking acyclovir at this stage and also went celibate for the latter 3 years. I found that within a day or two of stopping the crystal meth, the lesions would appear very violently and last 2 weeks. This cycle went on and on the 3rd year i was on the methamphet for 3 month stretches and never got lesions. Well, i had to emigrate to escape the meth problem and now i am settled elsewhere, have been off drugs, in the gym and eating well. The Herpes has attacked me relentlessly.
acyclovir for recurrences is 400mg 3x/day for 5 days or 800mg 3x/day for 2 days. both doses heal ob's at the same rate.
definitely return to your provider this week or next and get a proper test for yeast and bacterial infections. make sure neither of them are triggering frequent recurrences for you.
why not suppressive therapy if you are having monthly ob's? even if they are "mild", isn't that just a pain in the butt to go through?
You are not in mourning for anything except your unprotected sex life ...... for people who get HSV2 it is like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted and have to now do what we should have done in the first place and that is ....played safe and protected ourselves .....
We are all in charge of what we are prepared to risk and for all of us with HSV2 we took the risk of unprotected sex and are now paying the price for that so we have no one to blame but ourselves ...
I've been hsv2 positive for almost a year, also 5 months pregnant.. What's the odds of passing it to the baby.
When you go to medical school you learn that and that you shouldnt treat pregnant women any difrent then non. Yea things are more dificult but we asked for it. We need to do things ourself we should be able to do anything we could before. Speacil treatment is unneeded. If you cant stand in line that is your problem and not everyone elses you need to figure out ways around it.
I'm glad you found us for all these questions :)
First off yes your hubby should get tested for herpes too. The military doesn't include herpes in its std testing so chances are good that he's never been tested for it before. If he tests negative for hsv2 then I recommend further comfirmatory testing for yourself since your hsv2 igg is still on the low side. If he tests + for hsv2 too then there's less reason to suspect that you have a false positive.
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.....
You get much better relief from ob's by taking acyclovir 2x/day every single day. You can do this for under $20/month in the US even if you don't have insurance.
Lysine doesn't help to heal ob's faster. It also doesn't suppress the virus.
For acyclovir when you first start feeling an ob about to start, take either 400mg 3x/day for 5 days or 800mg 2x/day for 2 days. Both speed healing at the same rate.
Grace I would like to know if caffeine is a trigger to a herpes outbreak. The reason why is because I have been drinking coffee for a while I usually don't I had three outbreaks last month. However I have been off acyclovir for a 13 months. I had HSV2 for 4 years and 5 months now my OBGYN said that I shouldn't be experiencing that many outbreaks being that I have had the virus for some time she's saying that is too many outbreaks.
Hi all. I have had herpes 2 in my genitals for two years now and my girlfriend recently went to the gynecologist and asked about risks associated with having sex with me, etc. She mentioned that I experience between 8 and 10 outbreaks per year and her gynecologist suggested that I may have another underlying condition, infection perhaps that results in so many outbreaks. Last month a started taking 800mg of acyclovir daily to see if that would reduce my outbreaks and shedding.
