Common Questions and Answers about Valtrex hpv

valtrex

Avatar f tn Can the Valtrex I have been taking affect the results? I know I have several strains of HPV, could that have given me a false postive? Please help!
Avatar n tn I walked down the blocks and immediately bought a bottle Valtrex maybe 10 minutes after and took 500mg followed by 500mg more 12 hours later, and will probably continue for 14 days. I know Herpes tends to infect Epithelial cells first, then Mac's and T-cells and B-cells and various lymph cells before it eventually makes its way to a sensory nerve cell to enter a lysogenic lifecycle, in which case there's no getting rid of it.
Avatar n tn do u mean carrier of hpv on cervix or genital warts?have ur paps cme up clean for hpv?my understanding of genital herpes is once u get it u always have it..and partner can get infected when u have outbreak and not taking valtrex....important question is ur partners hx of std's and what he could b bringing to u!
Avatar f tn It is your responsibility to have protected sex, especially having both STDs. HPV is a virus like herpes and can linger forever. Everyone is different. I have seen people with HPV have nothing for 10 years and then it recurs. Your partner is gambling with his health by not using a condom.
Avatar m tn Since then I have had 2 minor outbreaks, both on my waist near the navel. I currently use Valtrex when I feel an outbreak coming on and it seems to suppress the symptoms. I'm recently in a new relationship and need to discuss with my new partner before we become sexually active, but before I do I had a couple of questions. Since my outbreaks are on the waist a condom will obviously not cover that area.
Avatar f tn or bumps and ulcerations. Today, I went to fill the Valtrex prescription my doctor wrote out for me, and my insurance didnt even pay for it. I dont have 250 bucks monthly for medication for the rest of my life. I ams till in my 20s and this sucks. I am seriously praying for a miracle. I am saddened that I have this virus. I wanted to be normal again...
Avatar n tn he knows of my status and i take daily valtrex. he was also recently diagnosed with hpv (he had warts). his major concern is getting hsv from me. i rarely have outbreaks and i take suppressive therapy daily and i always check myself. what are the risks of him contracting it if we have a long term relationship? is it eventually inevitable? ive read and heard so much conflicting info.
Avatar m tn s and I came back all neg, and she came back with hpv 1 and 2 ,how can she have this and not me , we dont use protection and we have been together over 2 years
Avatar f tn I was tested the year prior and came back negative for both. Additionally, I have not had any symptoms. I immediately began taking Valtrex to avoid infecting my fiance (but I had been with a number of women since my last negative test). Last week (14-Jun-11) I went to my new dr for annual testing and requested HSV retesting. My results came back negative for both (HSV1: 0.12; HSV2: 0.06). My fiance has never tested positive.
Avatar f tn i have been diagnosed with several conditions: HPV in jan10, genital herpes aug09, endometriosis 08 so i am good and lost right now... the symptoms that i have been having since my first herpes outbreak in aug 09 are not going away. its been a yr now and i still am having vaginal burning, vaginal pressure, and pain. the burning comes and goes but the pain and pressure are ongoing. i am on 1gram of valtrex daily.
Avatar m tn Hi there, you have been given medication for herpes (hsv), not warts (hpv). There are low-risk and high-risk strains of hpv. Low risk strains of hpv may cause genital warts but usually don't. High risk strains of hpv may cause abnormal cervical cells that may lead to cancer but usually don't. It all depends on the immune system to battle the virus. This will determine if an individual actually experiences symptoms caused by hpv. Are you absolutely positive it is not folliculitis?
Avatar f tn t sound at all like a hpv infection going on. Any hpv you had in your body 10 years ago, has most likely cleared itself anyways and is no longer there to be an issue. at this point your partner needs tested to see what his status is. A newly acquired herpes infection can linger for 2-3 weeks easily, even longer without proper treatment. Waiting to start the valtrex so long into things helps but not much as far as speeding healing.
940406 tn?1245213639 Then u would probably be prescribed to use Valtrex, so whenever you have the same symptoms, use Valtrex to treat it. The first outbreak of HPV is normally the worst and the longest, hopefully u only get to experience it once, as it it quite painful and irritating! HPV is ongoing, so it can't be cured and remains in your system, the best way, is to use a condom every time you have sex for prevention and to stay healthy.
Avatar m tn New girlfriend with HPV-1 and HPV-2. I am negative for both. I have read the Valtrex study. Two part question, if you don't mind What's the absolute risk of acquiring HPV per sexual episode if someone is on suppressive therapy and we use a condom and what if I were also to take Valtrex for a few days prior and after our encounters? I assume that would reduce the risk even further. Oooops, one more thing.
971165 tn?1247936027 I have just recently been diagnosed with HPV & Herpes . What exactly will these STD's do to me ?
Avatar f tn What percentage of HPV turn into cervical cancer? How many women have HPV that turns into cervical cancer? When could I have contracted this, was it my ex? Since my doctor didnt give me information over the phone, I am totally in a panic. How do I prevent this from other partners contracting this (either HSV, HPV?). Is it preventable for my partners? Is HPV genital warts? What are long term effects? Does HPV cause HSV or vice versa? How long can HPV lay dormant?
630047 tn?1289248521 My wife has HPV and the usual side effects that come along with it. She has the laser treatments to remove the warts are they pop-up. I love performing Oral sex on my but she is concern about HPV and spreading it too me and as a result very rarely does she allow me to go down there. My question has to do with Oral Sex and passing HPV along to myself. What type of steps should we be taking? Is there concern that I may catch it? What are people's experience with this?
Avatar f tn recently diagnosed with hsv 1 & 2 genital. started valtrex suppressive theory approx 24 days ago. i came down with an infection on a peritonsillat abscess which compromised my white blodd cell count to nearly 9000 and was eventually hospitalized to get condition and pain from abscess under control. now home i feel tingling and noticed one small vaginal lesion, obviously my hpv. this would be my 2nd outbreak ever so i dont know what to expect.
Avatar m tn They have been there for at least 2 years or so. I tried a lot of different antibiotics, cream for scar, valtrex, even with 800mg aciclovir ( I was tested positive for both types of herpes ). They did not go away. They are not painful, no discharge, tiny, not clustered. They dont seem to increase. They don't look like fordyce spots nor Pearly Penile Papules(from the pictures I can find online). By the time I noticed them, I had not had sex at all.
Avatar m tn Then I noticed some bumps down there. I had been diagnosed with hpv a few months ago. I went to a walk in clinic and the Dr. there A. did not do a urine sample, B. tried to do an exam with out lube on my lower area thus causing so much pain I screamed, C. did a culture but said well this is a text book case of type 2 herpes and just gave me a script for Valtrex, D. He didn't even prescribe antibiotics or anything in case it was something else. He didn't even order blood work.
Avatar f tn s no way of knowing how I got it. She prescribed Valtrex, 1gr x 7days. This current outbreak began 10-12 days ago. She said to take this the same way if I get another outbreak, Does this sound like genital herpes? Could it have been dormant a long time? I've only been with one partner since the first outbreak. Does it mean I got it from him? If it's in this area, can it still be transmitted by oral or vaginal sexual intercourse? Does this sound like the correct dosage?
Avatar f tn When I went to the doctor she took a look and said herpes without testing me and put me on valtrex and said if it goes away its herpes. I was recently diagnosed with HPV but then three months later the HPV test came back not detected I still had a coloscopy and that came back fine. Is this actually genital herpes?
Avatar n tn My wife was diagnosed with HPV just a week or two after we started dating about 2 1/2 years ago. We got married 6 months ago, and two months into our marriage, the doctor let her know that she had dysplasia. We want to have kids sooner than later, so the gameplan is to use condoms for two years so the HPV will clear. My wife has also decided we should avoid oral sex for 2 years as well, just to be on the safe side. Are all of these prevention techniques necessary or 100%?
Avatar m tn I have been currently taking the valtrex every mourning for the last year. I am with a girl now and was wondering what you think the percentage is of transferring it to her using no condom or protection without an active outbreak present. 80%? 90%? Appreciate the help, thanks!
Avatar m tn I have been having vaginal symptoms including, burning, prickling, itching, discharge, swelling and redness, the redness in not all over just in certain areas. I originally thought I had hpv when i shaved the genital area and found some growths on the outside of the vaginal area where the hair grows. I later found some inside just around the opening.
Avatar m tn you do not shed herpes from the thigh or scrotum without obvious lesions present.
Avatar m tn Okay here it goes. I'm 27 years old. I have only had one penetrative sexual partner in my life, my ex gf who I had sex with the first time at 25 2/10. Previous to this, my only experience with possible STD transmission was with a girl that gave me oral a few times10/09. She said she had HSV2 not 1. I kissed her alot never had a problem in my mouth.
