Confused
I was tested for the first time in 2009, since then I have been on acyclovir. I went to my doctor because I was staying raw and was burning in my vaginal area. I had a herpeselect test. It came back >5 for herpes 1, and 1.4 for herpes 2. I was first put on Valtrex, but then changed to acyclovir, because Valtrex made me so sick. Nothing has helped with the rawness and burning, and now my neurologist states I have central nervous system damage. I am getting sicker everyday! Please help me!

I have since had Igg for herpes 2 and it was negative. I have been taking two 800 mg of acyclovir since 2012, still no results. I cannot afford anything else, because I have no insurance. I just want to die! Please help me?
The first doctor you went to should never have concluded you had herpes and put you on antiviral meds. I suspect you may have been misdiagnosed. As you were told before, you need confirmatory testing. The Western Blot given at the University of Washington is the best test out there. You order it by mail and strictly follow the instructions.
Let met qualify my last message to you. You are definitely positive for Hsv1 like well over half the people around you. I am in doubt about your hsv2 status. That was too low of a positive to make that diagnosis without confirmatory testing.
Thank you Wellinformedperson for your help!
