Tests like Genesight are absolutely awesome!! it’s similar to genetic tests like 23andme but instead the results are a list of medications that will and will not work for you :)

I take valacyclovir too...500mg twice a day during an outbreak and it clears it right up. I've also been told olive leaf extract helps kill the virus too.
