Hi,
I have the hsv-2 virus that I caught from my boyfriend. I didn't know at it was at the time and it scared me and I was devastated when I found out that's what I was diagnosed with. I have had 1 STD(chlamydia) but a virus that will never go away is a first for me. I have been searching for a solution for a while about how to go about this situation. I only had the symptom 1 time when I had the first flare up, after that first time I have never received another one (thank god) but that doesn't mean that it couldn't happen again unfortunately. I have heard about abreva and the great comments about it fighting the hsv-1 and hsv-2 virus and how it does wonders. My question is... Is it possible to melt the abreva medicine take a needle and insert it into the sore itself? Or take any remedy that helps with the hsv virus whether it's a liquid or solid; Melting the solid and inserting it into the affected area?? Or should certain properties in medicine not allowed to flow into the bloodsteam?? Could this work?

Grace's answer is perfect, just a HUGE +1 to not melting Abreeva and inserting on HSV2. Bad, bad idea.
Good luck!

if you haven't read the free herpes handbook yet by Terri Warren, you should google it and do so. The handbook is updated and accurate with its information for how you can better control your hsv2 infection.
Abreeva wasn't effective on genital herpes lesions which is why it is only marketed for it's limited effect on oral hsv1 lesions. I have not studied the research enough to know what forms the active medication in it were originally tried in for herpes treatment to know how many different ways it was studied originally.
should you do something as stupid as melt abreeva and inject it into your herpes lesions? ABSOLUTELY NOT!! A topical ointment is formulated with ingredients that are safe to be used when APPLIED TO THE SKIN. It would not be safe to inject it into your skin.
