the doctor just look at my bumps and diagnosed me. i had a yeast infection along with it. the drugs given for the hsv seem to be working a great deal and are already healing.there are times my husband gets visible cold sores a few days after oral,but i havent been paying attention because i thought blister were harmless. a lot of kids had them when i was growing up. and how can i get my husband to acknowledge this fact and the fact that he infected me?
