I have had genital h. for over 8 years and since I was given this information, I do not have outbreaks anymore. Keep the area clean (I take baths) and then use a hair dryer to dry it real good. If I feel like I might have an outbreak coming on then I take a bath everynight and some mornings and use the hairdryer on it afterwards. It works great!!! I thought my world was over when I found out, now it is no big deal.
I hope this helps for some of you!!
