I am a woman, 57 and was in a relationship for 1.5 years with man X. We were living together and having unprotected sex (oral, anal, vaginal). During this time, I had anal itching and thought it was caused by hemmorrhoids. When hemmorrhoidal cream was not effective over a 2 month period, I went to a public health clinic and was tested for sexually transmitted diseases. I had antibodies positive for HSV-1 and HSV-2. The gynecologist examined both vaginal and anal areas but no external lesions were visible. I have never had any external lesions to my knowledge. However, I continue to have itching from time to time in my anal area. I have twice had some blood on the toilet tissue at two separate times. No other noticable discharge. I've looked for pictures of Herpes lesions online to know what to look for, but it is very difficult because I cannot see inside. 1) Can you please provide me a link to a medical image online and 2) It has been almost two additional years since I have had any contact. Is it advantageous at this time to take any of the **cyclovir drugs at this point?. After reading some of the comments, it seems that the virus is for life and these drugs seem only modestly effective for the short term. Thanks for your help.
