Here is a nice round up of the known evidence: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6419779/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6419779/
TLDR: "Longer duration controlled studies of daily lysine doses exceeding 1.2 g/d are required to definitively test its role in herpes simplex prophylaxis"
