Can stress play a role in triggering a herpes outbreak?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It does seem to have a role though that is difficult to quantify and it is not clear if it is a direct effect. If you are stressed you may not be eating and sleeping well which could suppress your immune system and that would make you more susceptible to outbreaks.
