Here is some feedback from people that have actually tried L-lysine to try
and treat their herpes:

First of all... how does your lady know that it's the l-lysine working for
her for sure? Genital herpes type-1 tends to be not as severe or intense as
genital herpes type-2. So maybe her lack of symptoms has more to do with
other factors such as this OR perhaps she's had the virus for a long time
and her body has adjusted to it accordingly.

Lots of really good information on those links that I shared.

Good luck,

Hi Ar and Gary,

Well to answer the first question, I have used Lysine and it has helped a
little at most. Mostly I have noticed that it makes the outbreak symptoms
less annoying, but doesnt control it all together.

Anyway, I'm doing alot better in general. I am not "usually" getting alot of
outbreaks. Now I get some minor symptoms here and there that don't do much
other than some occasional itching and a slight raw area or two. Mostly I
get no more than 1 Outbreak every 2 months or so, maybe even less, it
depends.

Ar, as far as the condom use (or not using) its because I know for a fact
that I do not have any other diseases and even had an AIDS test in May and
it was NEG. I only have genital herpes and HPV. The person I am seeing also
has HPV, but she doesnt have genital herpes or anything else, from what she
told me.

She knows I have herpes, I made it very clear. She and I both don't like
condoms, because of the feel. She told me that she wouldnt want to get
herpes from me, but she was willing to get herpes from me if it happened.

When that soreness and irritation happened to her 3 days after we had sex,
she was a little nervous and so was I. I'm thinking it wasnt from rough sex,
because 1. we didnt have rough sex, and 2. it started three days later and
lasted a whole week. I really hope I didnt give her herpes, but she told me
that if I did its completely okay, because she knew what I have and was
willing to be with me.

We are really thinking of being together for a very long time, I mean like
as in marriage. So I don't want to sound selfish, but if we are both in
agreeance of herpes and both spending out lives together its okay.

She actually knows alot about herpes because her daughter also has it and
she read alot about it prior to me meeting her. Both she and I are still
baffled about the "after three days" incident though.

I with AR on this one. I'm a little surprised that you would take such a big
risk Al.

At this point in my life I've already been with alot of people, so I know I
could still get HIV, but to tell you the truth its not a death sentense
anymore so if it happened I'd deal with it.

If she is

We waited 6 weeks before we were intimate.

No, but we're okay, and she is okay with my situation.

I'd also want to know for

True, but if she has herpes, then she can't get it and I can't either, and
if she doesnt have herpes then she can get it, but she said she was aware of
the dangers and has accepted it already. She said that during the 6 weeks
that we waited to have sex, she was sorting out in her mind if she was able
to take the risk of getting it. Then after 6 weeks she told me she was and
now we are together.

I might have already given her herpes, and she said that its true I might
have after the scare we had, but now she's over it and okay with it.

I know we arent married, but married couples don't usually use condoms
unless they are trying to prevent pregnancy and we arent able to have kids.
We are however thinking about marriage.
