Bro, it is for real.
I'm a living example. AsraZeneca vacine doesn't tolerate any virus infection in the system. A doctor friend in the UK called to tell me to take it because he knows what I was going through, bros that was how I became totally freed from herpes simplex

Perfectman91:
Wow, so how do I get this Asrazeneca vaccine? Is this the same vaccine the Nigerian government is giving the masses? Do you mean you haven't experienced any herpes symptoms after taking the shot?

BRATISLAVA:
They heard it's viral but the usual helpful users who aren't doctors say it's an antibiotic matter. What can we do except let them have their way?

Apsis:
Amen!
Thank you for your prayers
I believe and I know it in my heart that I am healed already.
I'll share the good news soon!

Bigchristo:

spiceadole:
Nigerians abuse antibiotics a lot and it's sad.
Herpes is a viral infection.. Even though, antivirals may help but not curative.
The disease is self limiting.

slawormiir:

If you are a niggar and you are yet to get one of these infection from a baby girl then you are not a real niggar

vampire2020:

Apsis:

Be careful out there

smartr:
Lol no na, I dey craze? Was just saying that a person being married doesn't stop them from being unfaithful.. We move!

Ten06:
If I'm no still experiencing it I won't bothered telling you to go and take the vaccine.

The AsraZeneca vacine was the first vacine brought in by the federal government, I heard that other product are being given to people now as the government is not sure of getting more of the AsraZeneca vacine. But I will advise you to go to any health center close to you. If they have the AsraZeneca you can take, but if others like Johnson and Johnson are available you can also take them, I believe it will still work because they all work against viruses.

The AsraZeneca vaccine was extracted from gorillas and was refined and diluted before they certified it for use.
The first few months I took the vaccine my immune system became very strong

Herpes: Types, transmission, symptoms, prevention and treatments


Herpes is a disease of the genitals or the oral region caused by the herpes simplex virus.

There are two main types of Herpes Simplex Viruses, herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). Even though both viruses are closely related and may be responsible for either mouth and face disease or genital disease, herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is mostly responsible for mouth and face disease while herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) is majorly responsible for the genital disease.

In 2018, it was estimated that nearly half of the world had been infected with herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) with the disease present in around 6 of every 10 persons under 50 (3.7 billion people worldwide). Africa had the highest rate of estimated infection with 88% while the Americas had the lowest with 45%. herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) is presented in around 13% of people aged 15 – 49 and commonest in women. It is commonest in Africa (44% in women and 25% in men). Many of the affected persons are unknown “carriers”.

 

What makes herpes unique?

The herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) has a predisposition for the face area and the herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) is attracted to the genital area. After the initial infection, these viruses can attach to nerve cells. This means that they can reside and multiply in these nerve cells and may become inactive – a process called latency or dormancy. This causes them to be permanently resident in the individual and can be reactivated at any time in the future.

After reaching a period of inactivity in nerve cells, recurrences may be triggered by fever, stress, sunburn, menstruation or other diseases. Infection is particularly worse in people with weakened immunity, such as people with HIV, and people on steroid therapy as well as people with eczema, on chemotherapy and people with concurrent infection. Infection with the Herpes virus is lifelong.

 

How is it spread?

Herpes simplex virus is spread through close personal contact with someone who already has the virus. It is highly infectious and single contact with an infected person may be enough for an infection to occur. Most people get the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) in childhood through non-sexual contact while herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-1) is almost exclusively due to sexual contact which is typically much later in life which makes it a sexually transmitted disease. The herpes viruses gain entry into the body via:

Small cuts or breaks in the skin with subsequent physical contact
Contact with a cold sore or blister.
Contact with objects like razors, toothbrushes, cosmetics, towels, and intimacy gadgets that were used by an infected person.
Kissing, especially between an infected adult and a child. It may also occur when there is an exchange of saliva.
Body fluids like blood and genital fluids (via MouthAction)
Unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse. The chance of spread is highest with unprotected sexual intercourse but herpes may be transmitted even when condoms are worn, especially on the uncovered parts.
In rare occurrences, a pregnant mother may pass the virus to her unborn child (called neonatal herpes), often causing severe complications which may include brain damage or foetal death.
 

When the virus gets into the body through the skin, it locates the collection point of the nearest nerve cells (called a ganglion) and moves in there but does not cause any symptoms in the immediate period. Then, the areas around the ganglion flare-up by first becoming itchy and subsequently tingling or burning up before blisters show up. 

The spread is greatest when the affected individual has a cold sore or a genital rash. Spread, however, may occur even in the absence or resolution of a cold sore or rash. Frequent contact with the affected individual increases the chances of spread.

 

What are the symptoms of herpes?

Most herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-1) infections are without symptoms (asymptomatic).  Cold sores or genital rashes may appear for the first time or recur at any given time. In persons with symptoms, the most common ones are:

Need sexual health services?
Find a clinic near you.
Fever. This is usually high grade
Anorexia
Vaginal discharge, especially in women
Pain when urinating
Malaise
Headaches
Tiredness
Muscle aches
Swollen gums
Sore throat
Swollen lymph nodes in the groin region
These symptoms often appear in the first week of exposure and subside within 2 weeks. Fluid-filled raisings called vesicles occur on the face and genitals (skin of the penis and groin, vulva and vagina. Anal sores can also be seen in men who have sex with men). These are blister-like, often breaking down and drying up, to be replaced by a yellow crust which eventually falls off, all in a matter of a few days. This continues to recur throughout life but with less severity than the initial outbreak, often with no particular pattern. However, it may be seen monthly in some people or as infrequently as every year.

 

How is the diagnosis of Herpes made?

The most accurate way to make a diagnosis of herpes simplex virus 1 or 2 (HSV-1 or HSV-2) is after a consultation with your doctor who will ask you questions before proceeding to examine you. Thereafter, samples may be taken from the sores for a test called tissue culture which confirms the diagnosis.

Having genital herpes increases your chances of getting (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) HIV so it is important to also test for HIV and take steps to prevent infection.

 

How is Herpes treated?

Infection with the herpes simplex virus is lifelong and cannot be cured.

However, treatment is instituted to reduce disease severity and to prevent complications. In some cases, treatment is also aimed at keeping the individual at such a state that they are not actively spreading the virus.

Treatment is mostly by prescribed antiviral medications, specific drugs that target and check the proliferation of viruses – most commonly, acyclovir (Zovirax). These are tailored based on the individual’s immune status and severity of the disease.

Genital rashes can be treated with special ointments that reduce the duration of the rashes and ensure quick resolution. Cryotherapy, the use of cold therapy to remove the sores can also be employed. Additional medications may be required if complications are present. Your doctor may also prescribe pain medicines, and a gel or cream to be applied on the sore for pain relief and to speed up healing.

 

How can one prevent oneself from contracting the virus?

Because most carriers are often without any symptoms, it may be difficult to avoid physical contact with individuals who are currently infected. However, here are some tips that will help prevent the spread of the virus:

Avoiding contact with people with cold sore blisters or genital rash
Avoid putting your hands in the mouths of people with mouth and facial herpetic disease. If you have to, wear gloves.
Wash your hands after inadvertently touching a cold sore or blister.
Avoid sharing items such as razors and sext toys.
Use dental dams when engaging in MouthAction
If you already have the virus, ask your doctor about suppressive antiviral therapy to reduce the possibility of spread of disease from you to close personal contacts. You should also avoid oral contact (sharing objects that have contact with saliva) or sexual contact with others when you have active symptoms by abstaining from sexual activity.
 
Very interesting. U try

Ten06:
Just go and take the Covid-19 AsraZeneca vacine you will be surprised how that herpes simplex will vanish.
Herpes simplex is a viral infection which can not be cure but can be managed with strong antibiotics anytime you experienced the outbreak. But the first jab of the AsraZeneca was able to cure it.
Many people has been giving secret testimony of how herpes they have been managing for year got cured with the first jab of AsraZeneca.
You will thank me later

Hello every
Pls I need help seriously

Coolgent:
Serious?

OvertheTop:
How is it treated?
Prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications, home remedies, and lifestyle changes are used to treat the symptoms of HSV. The type of HSV you have will determine which treatments you should use.

The goal of treatment is to prevent or shorten the duration of breakouts and reduce the risk of transmission.

Antiviral medications, such as valacyclovir (Valtrex) and acyclovir (Zovirax), help reduce the severity and frequency of oral and genital herpes symptoms.

Your provider may prescribe a daily suppressive medication if you experience severe or frequent outbreaks.

OTC pain medication can help relieve pain from oral and genital herpes, and there are several topical OTC treatments available for cold sores.

Here are some other things you can do to help ease symptoms:

Soak in a sitz bath if you have painful genital sores.
Apply a cold compress to a painful cold sore.
Minimize outbreak triggers, including stress and too much sun.
Boost your immune system with a healthy diet and regular exercise to help prevent outbreaks.
The bottom line
You can contract or transmit herpes and other STIs from kissing, but this doesn’t mean that you should blow off lip action all together and miss out on all the fun.

Avoiding skin-to-skin contact when you or your partner is experiencing an active outbreak will go a long way. Barrier protection can also help.

Blastedholligan:
treated people from herpes?

frankputer:
what's the test result like from the lab paper

1 igG reactive
or
2 igM Reactive

which one ?

Apsis:
igM Reactive

bayocanny:
Not bad, the virus is present but your immune system is fighting it.
I will advise you did a comprehensive medical check to actually determine what's wrong.
Try Teaching or general hospital to conduct full check, don't worry about the fees I believe it's relatively cheaper.
OP pls don't be depressed or sad about it. Just conduct medical check up from a different hospital.
With all you've been saying, I'm not sure it's herpes.

Apsis:
Thanks, I'll go to General hospital on monday.
