A member asked:

Someone took advantage of me on the 15th of this month and i went to my ob/gyn and she said i tested positive for hsv type1 and negative for hsv type2. i was wondering why there wasnt any medicine prescribed for me and what are some natural remedies?

The short interval between the described incident and the blood test showing "HSV positive" , would usually represent a prior contact with HSV, which is very contagious, and can be passed through either genital or oral contact. If painful ulcers occur, and prior to visual identification, treatment with antiviral medications like Valtrex, this can mitigate the length of the symptoms.
