Question:
Hi everyone everytime my boyfriend and i have sex, i break out. any suggestions on what i could use to help suppress type 2 genital herpes other then Valtrex? thanks!

Answer:
no sex.

it just happens, friction, causes irritation, irritation makes you break out.

you can try adding lots of vitamins, like coconut oil, lysine or L-Lysine, b12, zinc to name a few to really boost your immune system to help fight off the outbreak before it even really starts.

but other then that- LUBE IT UP

Answer:
Thanks - I was about to ask the same question. Glad someone else is having the same problem!

I guess lubrication is the way forward...

Answer:
hehehe if i use anymore lube i will be swimming in it ;) i am more concerned with boosting my immune system. I have tried looking for health food stores that carry Lysine but no such luck. Can you suggest a good canadian website to order it from?

Answer:
For L-Lysine have you looked at Puritan.com they say that they can ship vitamins to Canada.

Answer:
The 2 times my partner and i have had intercourse thus far has resulted in an outbreak for me- last week we took a visit to our neighborhood sex store and got a big bottle o lube. I hope (finger's crossed) that this will help prevent sex=outbreak, because i love sex and i love sex with him. I've started taking lysine tablets (from costco).

Can you suggest a good canadian website to order it from? i don't know what the deal is in the States, but here in Canda, it's available at any grocery store (Save-ON is where i bought it...) and drug store...

it's cheap. $9 - $10 for 60 caps.

Answer:
is a good choice. It is high potency and combined with Vitamin C, Zinc and Bioflavonoids. This is a smart combination for herpes.
