I live in Arizona where it can get to over 110 degrees easily. Weather has nothing to do with genital herpes outbreaks.

Stress is the main reason or "trigger" of why people get genital herpes outbreaks. If he has a lot of stress from work, family, finances, relationships, school, etc, it could cause him to experience as many outbreak as he does. Foods are also a big trigger for genital herpes outbreaks.

Has he tried antiviral medication? Herbal medication can help some people, but it doesn't work for everyone. Antiviral medications like Valtrex, Famvir, or acyclovir can help tremendously with genital herpes outbreaks. They can be taken every day for daily suppressive therapy or they can be taken when he is experiencing an outbreak or "feels" an outbreak coming.

I'd suggest you tell him to see a doctor and get some prescription medication to help prevent outbreaks and help them heal faster and better when he does get an outbreak.

Take care!

Of course you can catch herpes from a friend. Most of us get it as little kids from our family and friends. Hugging is fine, eating food that she has prepared is fine. Don't share makeup, the same dish of food, or utensils. Don't kiss her lips, although my Mom has herpes and I'd rather catch herpes than giving up kisses, so I just don't kiss her during an outbreak and hope for the best. The fact that she has outbreaks of cold sores is a good indicator that she has herpes. It's very likely that many of us have the virus in our system without getting the outbreaks. If you do have an outbreak, you certainly cannot pin-point her as the source of the infection, it's not that hard to pick up. However, I don't think you should worry and what you described doesn't really sound like a cold-sore. A persons first outbreak is usually somewhat severe and begins with tingling, itching, or burning sensations. Lips are so susceptible to chapping and cracking, and the onset of the colder weather (dryness), the black-head, maybe a little picking, etc can really make something on your lip look worse. If it gets crusty, painful, or spreads go to the doctor. Impetigo often occurs on the face too and is fairly common and needs treatment. Don't be paranoid. There isn't anything you can do except for practice clean habits (around everyone) and hope for the best. We live with herpes all around us and this type is not necessarily sexually transmitted although you could of course spread it that way.

Genital herpes - natural and alternative treatment remedies

Modern medical science has not been able to produce a cure for the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and can only offer pharmaceutical solutions that help ease the pain and speed up recovery from a genital herpes outbreak. For those that don't want to turn to medication to manage a lifetime of outbreaks, several holistic and natural remedies may offer a safer alternative.

TOPICAL TREATMENT OPTIONS

While there is no cure for genital herpes, many holistic treatment resources and studies have shown that naturally occurring plants and foods are effective at managing herpes outbreaks:

- Topical honey application

- Prunella Vulgaris herb

- Tea Tree oil

- Lemon Balm

- Aloe Vera

- Eucalyptus

- red marine algae



SOOTHE THE PAIN

- warm sitz bathes 3 - 4 times a day (sitting in a bath with your knees up)

- use a hair dryer to dry the areas with outbreaks

- wear loose fitting cotton underwear that is absorbent

- to reduce inflammation and swelling take aspirin or ibuprofen



DIET HELPERS

There are several foods that researches have discovered in certain studies that have a beneficial effect on reducing the number of outbreaks people will have over time. The following foods have been noted in scientific research studies as having a positive effect:

- cranberries (which naturally contain


proanthocyanidin A-1)

- broccoli, cabbage and brussels (which naturally contain indole-3-carbinol)

- lysine supplement



LIFESTYLE

- get plenty of sleep

- manage stress effectively

- eat a balanced and health diet

- exercise

- reach out and talk to someone you can trust

Since most natural remedies are considered reasonably safe, it may be worth investigating these holistic options before turning to invasive and costly medical treatments. Ensure to discuss any alternative treatment strategies with your health care practitioner before starting them. You can learn more about conventional genit al herpes treatments that have shown to be effective.

My best friend has had genital herpes for about eight months now, and it's been really rough. She's had about 7 outbreaks. Everywhere I read it says it stops flaring up so much after time, but its not getting less frequent for her. She's been on Antiviral meds the whole time, too. She also has type 1 diabetes which she has had her whole life, which really weakens her immune system. Will it ever get better?

But after a friend share this video everything has changed.
Natural Safe Herpes Remedy?

I got clinically diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about six years ago, when I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this video everything changed https://tr.im/HERPEScure2015qIV2

Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the hsv from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the man of my dreams. This method provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to enable you too by sharing this with the whole World.

Tell him to get some Valtrex from his doctor. He'll probably have to take it every day though. Sunshine can trigger more frequent Herpes outbreaks, so a daily suppressant (like, Valtrex) would be a good idea - it'd help reduce the number of outbreaks.

I heard Valtrex works well for many poz people.

Also diets must be heavy in B vitamin-rich foods. The daily diet must be supplemented by including a single dose of the vitamin B complex group of vitamins.

Or you can recommend some herpes blog to your friends to find more support , I notice here are many related blogs. One you can check is: http://www.positivesingles.com/blog/hgirlemily
