How often do you get outbreaks? And how bad / what are the symptoms when you do get one?
I've had it for two years, in the last year I've had about 6 outbreaks. OK, they are practically unnoticeable, but I am curious about others, because I was told when I got it 50% of people with genital hsv1 never get another outbreak. I guess I must just be unlucky. My sister didn't get one for six years after her primary.
Just curious about how others are finding it, I suppose.

I have had genital herpes caused by HSV1 for 6+ years.
The first year I had the virus I had about 4 outbreaks. The year after I had one and the year after that I also had one outbreak. I've been outbreak free now for about 2 and 1/2 years.
My first outbreak was HORRIBLE. I missed two days of work and school because I could hardly sit or walk. My doctor prescribed me 3 different antiviral medications and Vicodin for the pain.
Some people just get more outbreaks then others. You might have more stress in your life, or you might be eating or doing certain activities that are causing you to have more outbreaks. Herpes affects every person differently. Take care!

I got diagnosed with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 4 years ago, when I was still in college and had a silly one-night stand. I understand lots of girls say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date other men again. After all, who wants to go out with someone who has sores round her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/rwYE8 everything changed.
Not only was I able to clear away all remnants of the herpes simplex virus from my system in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This method provided me the chance to be happy and experience real love again. Now I want to help others too by sharing this story.

I have HSV-1 and HSV-2... I actually get outbreaks all the time. Everyone is different. I dont get the coldsores everyone talks about, I get a very sore throat.. it kinda feels like strep. Like I said everyone is different.
