1st recurrence of herpes?

I was diagnosis with genital herpes in nov 08 and i have had my 1st recurrence and im with the military so i haven’t taken valtrex since november so im still kinda new i need some valtrex so would i just call the appt line and just say i need valtrex. also its been 11 months since i had a OB so what can i do to relieve the itchiness that’s what is really bothering me right now. thanks

Hi Jessica

You need to see a DR and get a prescription for Valtrex and some cream to relieve the itching

Valtrex will reduce the chance of further outbreaks and will reduce the risk of transmitting to a partner during sex.

Best of luck

The first part of the book examines the impact of diagnosis and then explains the roles of accurate information and empathic support, medical treatment and support groups in learning to live with recurrent symptoms. Other chapters use the experiences of people with the condition in different parts of their bodies to illustrate how the meaning of herpes simplex and response to the symptoms alters in association with life changes. The final chapters review psychosocial research, discuss the importance of the Herpes Viruses Association in acquiring a store of knowledge about people’s experiences, and highlight the significance of herpes simplex as a public health problem. Herpes Simplex demonstrates the importance of a biopsychosocial approach. It will be invaluable to doctors, nurses and other health professionals, as well as to people troubled by the condition.
