THANK U GRACE , KEEP HELPING US PLEASE !!!! RT
even though you and your gf have hsv2, that doesn't mean that everything going on in the genital area is due to herpes. Hopefully the dermatologist will be better able to shed some light on what's going on.
There is nothing else I can suggest that we haven't already suggested. Getting the consult is the best course of action as was actually originally recommended to you by slacker almost a month ago in the very first response to this thread.
donating blood doesn't affect your body's response to herpes. I'm glad you are doing it though - more folks need to do it!!! I also donate regularly myself :)

GRACE , THANK YOU VERY MUCH !! my dr. confirmed hsv 2 by igg test . he stated the igg test isn't that good . dr. sending me to dr. carson , dermatologist . my private general dr. didn't think i had herpes but as stated , igg test positive .

question #2 > will giving blood help keep new good white & red blood cells . how do anti-body cells work ????? thanks so much ! rt
So your doctor is still telling you it's all herpes going on based on the blood test?
You can perform oral sex on your partner when she doesn't have any active symptoms present. I advise against her performing it on you until you figure out what is also going on down yonder.

te9r- I think you are missing the point jess and I have been trying to make to you for the last 2 weeks - whether you have herpes or not is actually a moot point. Just because you have hsv2 doesn't mean that it's the cause of everything that goes on below the belt. You have symptoms that are inconsistant with genital herpes. Since your regular doctor is unable to figure out what is going on and isn't recommending any different treatment I assume then you need to see a different doctor. I recommend a dermatologist. This is not all herpes going on. Herpes would not be present non-stop for a year. You've been taking valtrex and still have active symptoms which is one more reason why it's not likely to be due to herpes. Only a very small percentage of folks who have hsv2 and are otherwise healthy do not respond to suppressive therapy.
As for oral sex - I would personally avoid receiving it until you've figured out what is going on though from the sounds of things you most likely have not been.

Did you get your results yet?

thank u very much for your time & excellent info !!! sincerely rt
If she has hsv2, and not hsv1, you can't get hsv1.
The number refers to the strain of the virus, not the location. Hsv1 will always stay hsv1. If its oral, its oral type 1, if its genital, its genital type 1. Same with type 2.
Type 2 orally is rare, and you would have antibodies that would protect you from getting it orally. I wouldn't worry about oral at all.
Your doctor can try and culture the area for bacteria - that's the only other test I can think of.

2cd question please . if the igg test confirmes i have hsv2 & my girlffriend is also hsv2 ,can i give her oral pleasure without getting hsv1 >>>>please help !! my love life is suffering !!!! thank u !!! rt ps no oral pleasure for me until i know the problem , you agree ???
thank u so vry much . any other tests can tell me what is going on !!!! thanks ,rt
Well then, I see no reason to think that sex is causing it to not heal, and to support your view that this is a herpes sore that wouldn't heal for a YEAR because of sexual activity, right? If you've abstained for weeks and months, then the sore would heal if it was herpes being aggravated by sex.
Its not herpes.
The sore itself would be swabbed. The PCR swab would tell you if what you are experiencing is herpes. A blood test can only tell you if you have herpes, but it can't tell you if the symptoms you are experiencing are due to herpes.
However, if this were a herpes sore - which it isn't - after a year, culturing it would be pointless. Its hard to get an accurate swab after a few days, much less a year.
Its not herpes though - they just never ever last a year.

replying your question - "have i tried stopping sex to help heal blisters" ?? yes, for weeks & months , no real progress !!! thank u !! rt
thank u very much for for info !!! i went to dr.7-23-08 & he is confused of my problem. however, i ask for igg blood test for gential herpes & dr. agreed . i wanting also a pcr swap but dr. stated he didn't want to waste my money. what does the pcr swap show ??? do the dr. swap the blisters or swap down the middle penis (uthera ) ?? i need to get heal !!! my girlfriend & i are feeling high negative feeling !! thank u very much again !!!!!! rt
It doesn't matter what you are doing - a herpes blister would NOT last a year.
Even if you have herpes, this doesn't mean this sore is herpes. It just wouldn't last a year. Have you tried NOT having sex for awhile and see if that helps it heal?
