Reply To: HSV-2 and Acyclovir

So let me make sure I understand: your culture was positive but untyped?
Have any of these continuing lesions been swab tested to know if these are actually herpes?
It would very unusual for these to continue to be herpes this many weeks later but not impossible I guess. I think it is important to note that not everything that happens in the genitals of people with herpes IS herpes.
You may also consider asking your provider about bumping your dose to three times a day or changing to valacyclovir to see if that is better.
