Question:
I was recently diagnosed with herpes type 1 and 2. I have a long history of herpes type 1. I grew up having episodes of facial herpes (the first time being inside my eye, but I have not had an episode for about five years.

But I recently did a test and it revealed that I also have Herpes type 2 (genital herpes). I do not have any symptoms or outbreaks. My question is, could the result be false because I have the antibodies for the type 1?

Question:
My 15 yr old daughter and her boyfriend only had sex and oral sex with each other and no one else. They were both virgins. We know our daughter and her boyfriend, and are convinced this is true. She only "kissed" one boy before her boyfriend when she was 14, no sex involved at all. Her boyfriend never even kissed a girl.
We noticed she has had a fair amount of sores in her mouth since she got braces at age 13. Possibly earlier and we never noticed.

This can be a difficult time of year for warding off cold sores – low energy, irritating icy winds, and the prevalence of cold bugs going around that make you more vulnerable to outbreaks. However, these tips from a nutritionist and dietician, provide some steps you can take with your diet to ensure that your body is strong enough to weather the storm:

1. Cut the alcohol. Excessive drinking is the most known dietary outbreak trigger.
