I have been diagnosed with genital herpes for approx 2 years now. Doing some research on MS for school i ran across a couple of articles that advised there may be a correlation between HSV-2 and MS. However i could get no definitive answers from the articles. I am otherwise a very healthy male the age 25. I just had a physical 3 weeks ago and all bloodwork was good. In addition i had a MRI done in june of 09 due to a minor head injury i suffered while playing football-all was clear as far as any brain injury. Been worrying a bit i may get MS due to my herpes so i wanted to provide this info and hopefully get either some reassurance or facts surronding this...thank you

 Hello,Some viruses are triggered in patients with multiple sclerosis.Though many workers have imlpicated cytomegaloviruses and HHV6 in the pathogenisis in a small subset in causing tissue damage, it is like putting the cart in front of the horse and fear a multiple sclerosis due to HSV2.Experimental work along these lines do appear in print but nothing substansive to cause fear, like what you express.Cheers.
