He lives in Florida, I am in Texas. He called me crying today, said he had just been tested and they say he has both types of herpes.
First of all, how many different types of herpes are there?
Also, he said that they told him that the medication (Valtrex?) is going to cost him $175/month, but he has no health insurance and can't afford that. Are there generaic types of drugs, or alternative therapies to treat and keep herpes under control?
I'm sick with worry about him. He has been with his GF for a while, and contracted it from her, but she didn't even realize she had it until recently (or so she says). He's very depressed, thinks his life is basically shot all to hell now, and I don't know what to do to help him.
Any information, experiences or advice would be so greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance for your willingness to share what you know with this clueless mother who loves her son so very much.....
