Even when everyone thought there is no cure, I'm still surprised how your medicine cured me @Dr OBALAR. I just pray you stay safe out there everyday because the Genital Herpes patients needs you more than ever. Thank you for coming to my aid, you're a great doctor.
Hi Dr, can you make any comments in regards to the GSK HSV vaccine fail? It seemed they knew what they were doing as they recently developed shingrix which seems to be very effective... How is it so difficult to create an effective vaccine against HSV? Any insights with regards to the Moderna one?
It sounds harmless when you explain it so nicely and politely and thank you for trying but if i dare to share it with someone i am pretty sure he will feel disgusted and turned off. I know it because that's how I used to feel when i saw a person with even a cold sore (which by the way is also called "Fieberblase" in German which translates to feverblister) I am so so angry at myself for getting it because i slept with a man without a condom. I knew him for many years and i didn't expect this. And yet he had it. Plus i am a single mother with enough stress due to my education and my work in the health care sector, so all this narrows down my chances to find a partner for life pretty damn much. It's okay. I am pretty sure i deserve it since i am so stupid to go and have sex without a condom. 😢 All the best to all of you healthy people enjoy life because it's beautiful when you are clean and healthy.....
Am i able to book an appointment with you? I am struggling with AV and no doctors in my area (Gloucestershire) understand what im going through and wont give me anything to help.

How many people are infected with blood in a day (i.e. HIV patient's blood sample spilling on cuts etc.) How many such cases have you come across in your experience sir?

My doctor tested me despite not ever having sores and I tested positive in an igg. Does it mean I have it or does it mean I was only exposed to it in the past?
@@DrBretPalmer thank you for your response. why is it not recommended to get a blood test if you dont experience symptoms? That could mean more have it than what is reported. Testing caused me a lot of unnecessary stress that could’ve easy been avoid. Curiosity killed the cat 😑
@chillzoneyt1 that's why you shouldn't have a blood test, for very common infections. Herpes is given a bad rap, if this was the 1950s then you would no nothing and a doctor would dismiss it as part of living. I'd relax about it.
Doctor, i tried lysine and avoid allpeanuts. Usually i had it twice a year. But now its coming out only after 3 month. I had it once when i was teenager, but since i got my MG its keep coming out. Please help me out sir. Its rare in indonesia. And it’s negative in here.
@DrBretPalmer yes sir. Im consuming antiviral. And turns out, my blister last only a day. Its the very first time its disappeared only one day. Thank you for replying sir
@@DrBretPalmer I went through a 7 day cycle of valtrex (valacyclovir) 500 mg 2x a day followed by a tjher 5 days cycle and I was still breaking out on my face. I also have acyclovir cream. I only break out on my face. Never my genitals.
If someone is tested positive for hsv2 antibody but hsv pcr test is negative... Means he has herpes or not .. if he has herpes, should he not care about this and he should move on in life?
A PCR swab of the skin will see if the virus is detected at that particular time. PCR swabs are done if there is a sore. Antibody tests are done to see if a person has ever been exposed. They don't really give much information beyond that. Herpes lies dormant and can do for many years. I think you should tell long term partners but not required to tell short term partners. Herpes on the lip is called coldsores, would you tell a casual partner you have had coldsores? If not then why genital sores. Same sores different place. Never have sex if you have current sores, mouth or genitals.
@@DrBretPalmerthank you and it was pcr blood test not swab test. Since 6 months there are no lesions and 6 months ago there were 2 small pimples.. so he went for testing.
@shivamshuklasvlog627 ideally should of had a swab test so you know what those spots were, they could of been just spots. PCR blood is helpful if you are suspected of having a viremia (virus in blood stream), but most people don't. HSV travels along a nerve root to get to the skin, doesn't really go via the blood. There was a study that showed a large percentage of people have HSV viremia, but all the blood PCR tests I've done are always negative, unless the patient has sores and a fever and are generally unwell. Most people won't even know they have HSV.
@@DrBretPalmer I even don't know which hsv is present in my body... Should I do a recheck I am so worried that I could transfer it to someone.. Does the blood test identify which hsv I have got.. should I take antivirals to not transfer to my partner
@user-tk6em2cu9z I'd advise not to do any more blood tests, you've sabotaged your sex life enough. If you have coldsores on the lips would you have been concerned?

GSK are still working on a HSV vaccine, so I don't think they have pulled out completely.

Have you asked to speak to Dr Andrew DeBurgh-Thomas at Gloucestershire sexual health. He is very good and I work with him sometimes.
@DrBretPalmer I haven't, I hadn't heard of him before. But thank you so much, I will try and speak with him.

How many people are infected with blood in a day (i.e. HIV patient's blood sample spilling on cuts etc.) How many such cases have you come across in your experience sir?
Zero. I give out PEP every two weeks. Used to be about 2-3 times a week a few years ago but PrEP has reduced the numbers.

My doctor tested me despite not ever having sores and I tested positive in an igg. Does it mean I have it or does it mean I was only exposed to it in the past?
Both, you've been exposed, maybe as a child if HSV1, and you have it, like chicken pox. Welcome to the majority of humans on Earth.

@Kokushiboslayer take care.
Whats your opinion on acyclovir cream vs docosanol cream for facial herpes? I was hsv2 positive but only by blood test. The index is 2.41 igg.
If very heavy symptoms the aciclovir tablets will be best if HSV2.

Does igm shows recent or past.
IgM is recent, usually.
IgG long term immunity, usually.
