Question:
I'm a personel trainer and avid health enthusiest so when I got genital herpes from my girlfriend of 6 months I was devestated. The first outbreak I got I did'nt even recognize what herpes was or what it looked like.So I wrote it off as some freak occurence. That was about 2 months into my relationship with my gilfriend.Then 2 months latter I had another outbreak and started to wonder what the hell is goin on.Long story short,I discovered I had hsv2 after consulting with my doctor. I don't know what brought it on perhaps my high protien diet and frequent daily weight training. I thought I had a very strong immune system for I take a lot of vitamins. Although I've been under a lot of stress lately,( lack of sleep, stressing about my symptoms,ect.)For the past 6 weeks it's been one breakout after another. 3 in a row to be exact. Thankfully I've had no issues with my girlfriend, she has been very supportive. Although she has no symptoms whatsoever and has been diagnosed as a carrier I wonder why I'm being plauged by this disease.I's this a common thing? I's there anything I can do?

Answer:
in addtion to the vitamins you take, general overall good health practices are vital, i.e. take lysine, b complex, vitamin , zinc. c, olive leaf extract. I am on a dailey suppressant of valtrex, so far I have only on outbreak and that was the original before I started the valtrex and vitamins, (4 months ago) You may want to check your diet , you need to eat foods low in arginine, eat foods high in lysine, arginine high foods actually help the herpers virus. ANd quite frankly, it does not need any help from any of us!!! you are going to have to find a way to destress your life, that will only make the obs worse or help to bring them on. working out os good for you keep it up. Good luck to you and your girl! titanic ps i have had no side effects from the valtrex as a suppressant,
