I got HSV2 or commonly known as Genital herpes. The first time it popped up, aka the primary outbreak, it was rough. High fever, migraine, massive cold sore for almost 3 weeks.

Then for the next 2-3 years, I would have outbreaks and cold sores every 3-4 months. Each time when I am under stress or lack of sleep. Can feel the itchy tingly feeling followed by blisters which fill with liquid that pops into a cold sore that increases in size before slowly drying up and closing up.

I found applying the antiviral creams and pills useless. What worked for me was applying high grade honey directly on the sore.

It has been about 6 years already since the primary outbreak.

The frequency of outbreaks decrease exponentially over time. I now get maybe 1 outbreak per year. When I have outbreaks, I avoid sex with my wife.
