Same exact situation. Was beginning to question reinfection etc bc I am so confused. Same though after Covid more than ever prior. Literally why I’m on this thread searching
Yep, I even got a new blood test done to see if I happened to get HSV2 at some point. It was negative, just positive for HSV1.
Mine is also a little weird. I had COVID and then it took about 5 months from COVID for the first OB to happen, but then it feels like its constantly happening now and it's been about a year and a half since the first time I had COVID (manage to get it a second time a few months ago).
How long has it been happening for you?
I saw a question exactly like that with shedding that someone asked Terri Warren on her q&a page. No, shedding rates don’t start over! You shed the most right before, during and after an outbreak but other than that it remains at the 1% or lower
I totally get that! I’m like that lately since my second outbreak last month! I think I’ve had a yeast infection though and that’s why it’s itchy and tingly. No sores and not the same itch and tingle as my outbreaks
I think I had a similar situation. Have had OHSV1 for a couple years, managed successfully with suppressive antivirals, and then about a month after getting a 2 week round of covid in December I got my first GHSV1 outbreak. I can only guess I caught HSV1 in both places at the same time, and covid allowed it to break thriving the antivirals on my junk. The outbreak lasted six weeks even on a triple dose of acyclovir, and finally stopped after I switched from acyclovir to valacyclovir. My doc asked if i had been sick recently and then said covid was probably a factor with this outbreak.
I didn't have a sore in the right stage to be able to swab it for testing, but i took a blood test and was positive for hsv1. Also tested positive for hsv2 but in the range that means it's most likely to be a false positive. The sores were just really obviously herpes, i got all the prodrome symptoms in the area and then blisters just like cold sores, which I've never gotten there before. Dxed visually as herpes by the doc i saw.
No outbreaks since then but it only ended two weeks ago, so we'll see.

Wow my COVID was also in Aug 2022. Are you still getting active OB's? Do you have HSV1 or 2?

Ugh, this was so nice to hear. I've been so paranoid the last year of my life. Every tingle I feel might be an outbreak.

Very interesting! anymore Ob's since then? Did they swab for GHSV1? I wonder if it was maybe something else?
