Ok, first let me start with the disclaimer that I’m not a doctor (just a very informed patient) and nothing I say here should be construed as medical advice.
That said, none of the 9 human herpes viruses are truly curable, at best they can be suppressed. You may want to discuss with your doctor about going on full time suppression, because the virus remains active in your system and is doing damage even when you are not having a breakout.
I want to post this resource for you to learn more about your HSV2:
They won’t let me post the following as an actual link, so you will have to reconstruct it www .ncbi. nlm. nih. gov/
books/NBK47376/?term=Human%20herpes%20virus
HSV1&2 can both cause autoimmune syndromes (I’ve had an HSV1 triggered one caused by HSV1, which I acquired when there was a sterile field violation during a vasectomy procedure- I know, TMI-lol).
Because the board keeps logging me out when I switch out of this browser page to go get more info I am going to hit post now, and follow up with additional parts.

@hsv1aidisorder I see this is a very old post with many responses, so I won’t do the extensive follow up. I would suggest that anyone experiencing idiopathic autoimmune symptoms be tested for the human herpes viruses with known associations to autoimmune issues. This would be:
HSV1&2
VSV (varicella)
HHV-4 (Epstein-Barre, infectious mononucleosis)
HHV-6 A&B
As I said, I’ve had an HSV1 triggered autoimmune disorder which caused serious issues for me, massive capillaries leakage (both plasma & blood), circulation issues, neuropathy (it’s attacking my peripheral nerves), and serious gut issues similar to IBD caused by the viruses ability to both directly attack the epithelium and epi layers in the gut and through its affects on the microglia which influence the immune & inflammatory responses through the Toll Like Receptors (which TLRs depend on the virus, in my case TL4 & TL9 are heavily implicated).
