I was diagnosed with hsv2 in August. Since then u have had 3 out breaks. Is this normal to have so many ob so close together? Dr put me on anti vitals it gets rid of it but a couple days after finishing the meds I have another out break. Could sex be a trigger?? Seems like every time I have sex with one certain person is when I have ano ob.. anyone else have this issue???

    Are your outbreaks lesions or just prodromal?

    My doctor told me that type 2 is more reoccurring than type 1. I have type 2 I think and have had 2 episodes since I found out I had it in May.
