Herpes Simplex, Suppression
"The day you are diagnosed with HSV2 is an incredibly traumatic experience. Everyone&#039;s first thought is, &quot;who would want to be with me now?&quot; The social stigma of the virus has always been greater than the reality of it. I, like many of you, struggled with the idea of living with it until I was given Valtrex. It looks like a horse pill, but it suppresses the virus so much that I forget I even have it. I hope there will be a cure in the next 5 years, but until then, Valtrex will be more than sufficient. Hang in there, everyone, it&#039;s more common than you think!"
