can a person as myself with HSV2 donate blood if a relative needed a transfusion?
it reduces it, it doesn't stop it completely.
does suppressive therapy. 500 mg daily of valtrex,help to stop viral shedding?
not really though since it's a steroid, it can trigger hsv2 to reoccur more often. if you are on daily suppressive therapy, I wouldn't worry about it.
is there a side effect to taking Anusol suppositories if one has HSV2?
you can always get prescription medications whether you have insurance or not - they just cost more.
if you don't have insurance with prescription coverage, I recommend acyclovir instead. WAAAAY cheaper than even generic valtrex and works just as well.
can one get generic valtrex monthly if one does not have any health insurance?
yes he can but you should notify them that you know you have hsv2.
i was watching a show on sperm donor.out of curiuosity,if a guy is hsv2,can he donate sperm?
does having hsv2 and taking valtex have any effects on urineanyisis strip testing?
will it affect any readings on the results?
Of course. All people with herpes, be it HSV1 or HSV2, are eligible to donate blood. Herpes is not a blood born virus.
can a person donate blood if they have hsv2?
not really. most studies show that even extreme stress doesn't trigger ob's or shedding.
is there a correlation between stress and outbreaks?
as in hsv2
no, chicken pox is herpes zoster. cold sores are herpes simplex. 2 totally different viruses.
if someone had chiclen pox in their childhood,can it reappear as 'cold sores" later in life..i mean the oral type
thanks for the fast reply
whatever i had it just about cleared up the next day and gone now
you will still get recurrences even on daily suppressive therapy but they will be less than if you weren't on it.
no, you don't build up an immunity to medication for herpes.
is it common to get recurrences even if someone is on valtrex everyday?
does the body built an immunity to the medicine?
i been on valtrex since jan 2010 outbreak free,but i am not sure if i have one now,since i saw a small red bump on my foreskin in the shower
90-92% odds of not contracting hsv2 each year if all you do is avoid sex anytime the male has anything going on genitally.
95-96% odds of not contracting hsv2 each year if they avoid sex during any genital symptoms in the male and the male is on daily suppressive therapy with valtrex.
97-98% odds of not contracting hsv2 each year if they take the above 2 precautions along with using condoms.
