2 1/2 years back I was diagnosed with having HPV.  My form caused
cervical dysplasia.  No warts.  For the last 3 paps (done every 6
months), I have had no abnormal cells.  In addition, the last test
included a DNA test for strains that tend to cause cancer.  They came

Over the years here, I've seen quite a few people state that they have
no insurance and they can't afford antivirals. Now, if I understand
correctly, Walmart is offering a 30 day supply of 200mg Acyclovir for
four dollars. So far, they're extending that offer in 27 states. I

I am very new to this.  After living with Herpes for two years, I
finally decided to join a group to talk about it and help ease the
emotional burden that comes with it.  It's incredibly difficult because
most of the time I feel like there is no future for me.  I am divorced

Any advice much appreciated....as you can guess am worried.
I have have a tingling in the end of my penis....it started the day after. At
the same time I have had bad gut ache. This has gone on for 6 days. No
blisters yet, but have a couple of small red marks of the end of shaft.

I found a good review article on the rates of asymptomatic shedding of
HSV. Oral HSV-1 appears to shed 7-10% of the time, while genital HSV-2
appears to shed 4.7% of the time.

Here are 2 articles about hot peppers  (capsaicin) and Ca:
we can corelate these 2 and the result may be surprising; are you
ready for a try out? (if you have a cold sore, open a red hot chilli
pepper

If someone's partner has Herpes, and there is thus a likely chance
that one may contract the virus, would it make sense to purposefully
infect oneself in a small place on the arm, so that one would develop
antibodies, and not end up with a bigger infection?

I hope you all are doing well.  I know this is a herpes support group,
but I wanted to throw this out there if anyone has any input.  I was
just diagnosed with Ureaplasma infection and doc prescribed Doxycycline
for it.  I was told it's not an STD although it is transmitted

I am terribly sorry to be ignorant about this, but I read a bit more
and found no clear cut answer.  Like I posted before, two and a half
years ago I tested positive for Herpes.  They didn't/couldn't tell me
if it were type 1 or 2.  I was told there was no distinction in

I am getting more and more confused. Can both types I and II be either oral
OR genital? For example, but not limited to this, can genital be spread to
the oral area of another person? It is my growing understanding that
initially it was thought that I (One) was primarily oral but ...

Here's my scenario. I was recently diagnosed with HSV-2, negative for HSV-1
and herpes-zoster. At first, the GP thought I had shingles because the only
place I've ever had an outbreak is on my hip. He did a culture using ELVIS.
As I understand it, there is no such thing as a false ...

I know there is not much that is truly odd about the way that herpes can
make you feel. Physically, I mean. But sometimes I get some of the prodrome
kind of feelings that seem odd to me!
On the back of my right leg I have had a spot for a little over a week now

Ya know, I could do some research and find this out myself but I like
talking to you all. Also it looks like it is kinda slow in here right now.
And since there just might be some new people lurking around waiting to see
something helpful....here's a question!
