Hello
You asked two questions about
Herpes Simplex , since diagnosis is confirmed ( supposed to be after all concerned tests ) so I want to tell you in detail .
Herpes Simplex Virus ( HSV) is the most prevalent cause of
genital ulcer disease among sexually active people.
It is a chronic , life long viral infection and so patients with recurrent episodes.
HSV2 is almost always sexually transmitted .
HSV1 is usually ACQUIRED DURING CHILDHOOD THROUGH non-sexual contacts ( you may be the victim of this thing).
Infections can be asymptomatic or unrecognized , but the patient can still shed the virus and transmit the disease.
Sorry gentleman , it was necessary for me to write down in detail , so that you can understand the whole thing , that how you got infection and what is the outcome.
Management ;
Antiviral therapy controls signs and symptoms but does not ERADICATE the virus. It does not affect risk or frequency of recurrence after medication is stopped .
So remain in contact with your treating physician and get his consultation regularly.
Good luck.
