km-I have herpes too and I can tell you one thing--it will get better. The long you have the virus the few outbreaks you will have and the less severe they will be. Make sure you take good care of your self, eat well and avoid stress as much as possible. It will help really! You may have to avoid sex for a while (unfortunately!!) Or when you do have sex use a good lubricate. You want to avoid getting any little tears or rubs, because this makes you more likely to have an outbreak for some reason. Good luck! I hope this info helped. If you have any more questions or just want to talk, feel free to e-mail me!
