Genital Herpes and the outbreaks?!


Question: Genital Herpes and the outbreaks.?
I have Genital Herpes. I was raped when I was 14, almost 15 by my "boyfriend" at the time. He took advantage of me but anyway, he gave me genital herpes according to my doctor. I am 22 now and have not had an outbreak since I got it when I was 14....15...... is this common.? 1 of 5 Americans have herpes so I was wondering how often do other people break out.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It's not uncommon but it does happen to some people. There is nothing to say or tell how often one will get an out break of herpes. Every one is different when it comes to break outs. Some people only have one out break and never have one again while others have out breaks every couple of weeks or months. Some people can go for months or years in between out breaks.
I usually have an out break if I get very sick or if I'm under a lot of stress.Health Question & Answer

I heard that a lucky one third of the infected population gets one initial outbreak, and that's it. Another third gets outbreaks initially, but they decrease over time. Another unlucky third continue to get frequent outbreaks for the rest of their lives. I fell into the latter category, but now that I'm on an anti-viral, I get very few outbreaks.Health Question & Answer

It depends on the stress you are under. Some people break out once a month and some never do. See your doctor for more information and a check up.Health Question & Answer

If it's been that long since you've had an outbreak count your blessings and worry no more about it.Health Question & Answer
