Thank you! I truly appreciate your responses. It is so confusing trying to sift through all the online information! I just have one follow up question –

For the last 6 years, my outbreaks have always been the same. Just one small spot on the outer portion of my labia. However, since the third trimester of my pregnancy, I have had intense burning/itching/redness in my inner labia and anal area with small red bumps on my buttocks. There are no blisters that I can see. These symptoms last for days to weeks with no let up. I’ve asked my OB/GYN and she said it could be herpes or it could be something else altogether (though she couldn’t make a diagnosis of what the something else could be.) Does this sound like my herpes is now presenting itself differently from previous outbreaks? In your experience, can pregnancy trigger herpes to act differently in a person? (Just for more information – these symptoms occur frequently, at least once a month and occur while on 500 mg of Valtrex daily. If I increase to 1g daily treating it like an outbreak, the symptoms seem to improve slightly, but do not go away.)
