I have been taking Valtrex every day for one year and have gratefully been symptom free. I recently had my first heartbreaking symptom. Is there really anyway to rid your body of this virus, and how long is the body contagious after an outbreak?

Hi
I am very sorry to say there is NO CURE for Herpes to date, just the surpressive drugs. I am very sorry you have had your first symptom. It is very difficult to say as far as the actual Ob is concerned because each person is different.. I would say from my experience 3-5 days, and then another 7 days from the time the bump , blister or cut goes away or the symptoms go away, see everyone doesn;t have the same symptoms, but everyone goes through the shedding period and that starts after and that is more catagious then the actual OB, because most people don;t even know when it is happening, so to be safe, I would say 10 says tops, especially since this is your first OB.
I would still continue on my meds during the time. have you been overly stressed lately, STRESS is a major factor in OB's, so maybe that is what triggered this one.. :) just a thought.. I hope I helped.. Feel better soon:)
