You are seeing nonscientific online sources. Limit searching to sites produced or at least moderated by professional agencies, like academic medical centers, public health agencies, etc; and be cautions about sites run by and people with herpes. (The same principle applies to most online searching about health problems.) Arginine has no effect on frequency or severity of HSV outbreaks.
