Few questions..

I was tested positive for hsv2 a few weeks ago and the doctors gave me some medicine for the outbreaks. I started having one and the medicine didn't seem to help much. I've read that people can take l-lysine for outbreaks. Are there any other home remedies that I could try as far as like itching,etc.

Also, I started seeing a new guy before I got my test results back. We haven't been intimate yet and I know I need to tell him before we are intimate but I don't know the best way of telling him. So any help on that would be appreciated. I just hope when I do tell him that he doesn't freak out about it. Thanks!

I thought I was having a yeast infection since I'm diabetic I'm use to having one but when the stuff I usually take for one didn't work I started getting worried and a few days before I went to go get checked out I started having a pain in the inside of my vagina and it was just in one spot. So I went to the doctors and she did an exam on me and found a small canker sore  and took a swab of it and sent it off to the lab and I got the results back two weeks later.
