I got hsv 1 and 2...anti-biotics?

I just got my results back, came back type 1 & 2. And HIV negative. But i was taking famvir for a week and didn't notice anything and then valtrex. Then I took a doxcycline (anti biotic) on Friday night and the blister on my lips and chin began to dry up with in an hr or so. And also the burning in the back of my throat went away also. Anyone get sores under tongue and back of throat during outbreak?

Is this weird? My doc said didnt say anything about.. he said antibiotics dont work against hsv but I did notice something

Could anything other than herpes have caused an outbreak on my penis or sores? bacterial wise I mean.

Y do I develop cancer like sores under my tongue? I feel it in back on my throat, doesnt seeem normal

What you're describing is just a coincidence, unfortunately.

"HSV" stands for Herpes Symplex VIRUS. The type doesn't matter for these purposes. Doxycycline is an antibiotic that treats BACTERIAL infection. Antibiotics do not DIRECTLY treat viral infections (HSV or otherwise).

Medical science doesn't have a particularly good understanding of how, exactly, HSV works, or why outbreaks are triggered. We do know that HSV often becomes particularly active in times of stress or injury (emotional or physical), and when the body's immune system is compromised (through chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immune disorder, such as HIV).

As such, there is a very small possibility that there is an indirect correlation between your taking antibiotics and the subsidence of your HSV symptoms, although this is just a THEORY. If your immune system was dealing with a bacterial infection, which it obviously was since you were prescribed an antibiotic, your body's immune system resources might have been "preoccupied" fighting on two fronts. Once your natural defenses got a boost from the antibiotic, and the bacterial infection began to clear, your body could then devote more resources to fighting the HSV, thus speeding your recovery.

The upshot is: if you're otherwise healthy, antibiotics will NOT have any effect whatsoever on your HSV.

you likely had some sort of secondary bacterial infections that the antibiotic would have helped with. But your doctor is right, antibiotics don't do a thing about viral infections. As for the blisters on your lips, it can often take up to a week to ten days for the valtrex to dry them up, taking the antibiotic just coincidentally occurred about the time those blisters were due to heal anyway.
