Reply To: HSV1 Continuing

[Hadenough]

Okay I may take you up on an appointment. Would you have any recommendations for practitioners I can see in the UK? How much is it to meet with you?

I have had HSV1 confirmed by blood so as mainly oral seems to stack up with this.

Noted regarding resistance, do you know if a resistant strain would be passed on? I’m worried this CSW had hiv and has created a resistant strain and passed to me? Am I making that up? Is that how it would work?

I had shingles when I was a teenager, could that effect Acyclovir resistance? Presume I took acyclovir for this?

Could herpes damage your anus/rectrum
Permanently or would it be just when you had symptoms it would flare up then subside?

Sorry I have spent so much money on this and need to work an answer.

The oral sex was 100% a trigger and since then I get spots and cuts around my anus that come and go but a constant pain and irritation.

Like I said I had 3 swabs, it took a couple of days to get in and not weeping fluid, how accurate can these be? Could you swab on skin/redness/spots or do you need the fluid?

From what I have read 50% of the world population or there abouts have HSV1, how many people are unaware of this?

Do you know where WHO have got their figures from? What was the sample size?

Finally and a bit of a curve ball. I had a pudendal nerve block and 4 days later I had a stroke and ended up in hospital. Could a pudendal nerve block cause a genital outbreak to be redirected to my brain causing encephalitis?

I seriously cannot look past herpes on this and has changed my life.
