Thanks for the help. I am confused though, it says that your first outbreak should be the worst but I only have 3 small sores that are just kind of like ingrown hairs. They hurt a little bit but are not TOO bad. They have been here for a couple months though, when do they finally go away? I know I need to see a doctor, but I am just so scared to face this reality. Girls with herpes are considered "slutty" and I don't want people to know about this. I just got a new boyfriend too, and I'm scared of how he will react. This is a living HELL!!!

I'm going through the same thing and i just wanted to say thanks because your advice helped alot.

Hey listen.....
I found what is said to be a cure for Herpes and it really makes sense. You should google it and read about it. It's called Ozone Therapy and it is widely practiced in Europe. To date, they said that over 15 million people have been cured of the virus. I was diagnosed with HSV I and since then I've been invetsigating possible cures. The most effective way of preventing outbreaks that I've found up till now is by combining liquid oxygen (8-10 drops in a glass of water daily, l-lysine, cats claw (it's a vitamin), garlic pills, and milk thistle. Also when an outbreak does occur use DMSO cream and hydrogen peroxide. The DMSO cream can be purchased at a health store. Rub in the cream the spray hydrogen peroxide on the infected area, as well as, the lower back. If you're a skeptic...try it! It can't hurt and it's cheaper than Valtrex. I've been symptom free since I began the program. I'm also heading to Chicago to have the Ozone Therapy done with Ultraviolet radiation. It is the most effective way of destroying the virus, as well as, helping out with many other health problems. Like I said though, if you don't believe me do your own research on it. Ozone Therapy is mainly performed in Europe, however there area few places in the states that go against the norm and perform the therapy. If you're wondering why it's not more widely publicized, think about it. The Pharmacuetical companies sink billions into the research of their drugs. If this info leaked to the general public they would lose billions. And since oxygen can't be patented the FDA won't spend the time and money on U.S. research to further support the finds. Think about it....no fungus and/or virus can survive in an oxygen rich environment. The constant use of oxygen eventually destroys all the virus in your body breaking down the cellular encasement of the virus allowing your antiviral antibodies to destroy the virus itself. Keep the faith and remember never let anyone tell you that it's hopeless. Do your own research and definitely look into Ozone therapy. I hope this was helpful. Take care and God Bless!
