As one of the site experts, just do a little detective work by asking yourself these questions:

Were you somehow exposed to someone with active HSV2 and you're viral load increased suddenly?

Were you under undo stress?

Were you ill and your immunity lowered?

 

Maybe one of these can shed light on the outbreak.

Yeah - same thing happened to me.  Herpaflor worked well for me - I got it under control and haven't had it come back again --
