   Natural Diet Plan For People Who Have Genital Herpes.

   Speak to a doctor. Herpes don’t “heal” in the sense they go away and never come back. You have it for life if it is the genital or type 1 kind like you’ve suggested. And you ARE STILL contagious even If your Lesions have healed and There is No “visible” outbreak. So always wear protection and let your partner(s) know, Even giving oral sex they could get it that way. And herpes is a reportable disease.

   Natural Diet Plan For People Who Have Genital Herpes.

   Hey there…I have the same thing as you. Out breaks can take 2-14 days to heal, but that depends on how strong your immune system is. If it’s been lowered by stress or an illness, then it can take longer for an out break to heal. Symptoms take between 2-20 days to show up.
