I'm feeling really confused right now. I just found out I'm positive for HSV1 and I'm not sure what to do. Is there any kind of cure for it? Also, I'm wondering if I can marry someone who's HSV1 negative without telling them about my situation. And is it possible to have kids in the future? I could really use some advice on how to handle this.

HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex Virus) is manageable with antiviral medication, but there is no permanent cure. It's crucial to inform your partner about your condition before marriage to ensure informed decision-making. With proper care, you can have children, but taking precautions during pregnancy and birth is essential to prevent transmission.

I recently got over a bout of diarrhea, and it seems like the antibiotic ORNIO really helped. But now I'm experiencing itchiness all over my body, and I'm noticing these tiny bumps popping up on my skin. I've never had any allergies to medication before, but could this antibiotic be causing these symptoms? Can you provide some guidance on what might be happening?
