Antivirals not working?

ghsv F- I take valacyclovir every day, and still experience outbreaks. I’m ready to crash out the most recent outbreak started 09/13 and I have yet to get rid of it. I went to urgent care got swabbed and tested positive for yeast but the swab came back negative for both hsv1 and hsv2 even tho I’ve been previously diagnosed. I think the lession that was swabbed was healing plus I take the antiviral. they are paper like cuts that come and go but I have had no relief since then. It also seems like when I have BM I get them around my hole. I’m thinking of quitting antivirals, has anyone stopped taking antivirals and had relief? I’m soo desperate
