I have a question , when a person get finds out they have hsv but no symptoms the doctor doesn't prescribe any medicine. I Have seen articles that stated "herpers can kill you if left untreated." How when there is sooooo many people with out any symptoms, so they go with out knowing for yearssssssdd. Or I know people who take meds only when they have a outbreak . Then I know people who eat healthy , take lysine and vitamins to stay healthy. For example me I never had any systoms. I guess im.just worried about death from this virus

    I have been diagnosed with herpes type 2 and am very anxious about it, I just have a lot of questions and whenever I look them look there's so many fake things made up about it, I dont know if it's true or not, so hopefully someone on here will be able to answer my questions, can herpes 2 kill you Or shorten your life? Can it cause you to be ill day to day? And will it affect my everyday life.

      No to all of your questions, except in very rare and unusual circumstances. Go to a factual medical/health site for proper info, like the CDC, ASHA, NHS and even the non-forum pages of this site. I also have a bunch of Q&A with external links pinned to the top of this forum.

    If you don't have this virus inside your brain then you have nothing to worry about but if it's inside of your brain you have a 70% fatally rate.
