Common Questions and Answers about Valtrex no condom

valtrex

Avatar n tn I note in the study of the 171 people who used condoms and suppressive tx that transmission was none( Valtrex) I note that Grace posted she has never given a male HSV-2 while on supressive therapy. I am starting to believe and want to believe that the risk of transmission female to male with condom and her on supressive therapy is practically non-existant!
Avatar f tn You had no risk. Using a condom prevents the spread of HIV and oral sex is not a risk for HIV. In an adult, unprotected anal and vaginal sex can result in HIV.
Avatar m tn with daily Valtrex and condom use=99% he will NOT get either of the herpes; with the Valtrex but without condom=98% he will NOT get it. (GREAT odds I must say! Please check me if theses %s are correct. Where does one get a female condom? Do they award even better protection than a male condom? Even though I've had no outbreaks that I can tell in a very long time(1-2yrs.), when I did the first couple of times the perineal area towards the anus was affected also.
Avatar n tn Welcome to the Forum. The events you describe are essentially no risk. Condom protect sex is safe sex. In my opinion you really need not be concerned about this exposure, nor do you need testing. I do not understand however why your PCP want you to take valacyclovir? In answer to your specific questions: 1. No, valacyclovir has no effect on the time it takes for an HIV blood test to become positive. If you had a meaningful exposure (you did not) a 6 week test would be highly reliable. 2.
Avatar n tn My wife was diagnosed with HPV just a week or two after we started dating about 2 1/2 years ago. We got married 6 months ago, and two months into our marriage, the doctor let her know that she had dysplasia. We want to have kids sooner than later, so the gameplan is to use condoms for two years so the HPV will clear. My wife has also decided we should avoid oral sex for 2 years as well, just to be on the safe side. Are all of these prevention techniques necessary or 100%?
Avatar n tn She said she is taking Valtrex on a regular basis and had no current symptoms. She also said she has had a few long-term boyfriends (she has had HSV2 for about 18 years) who had unprotected sex with her on a regular basis, and they were not infected. I have not had any type of outbreak which resembles what I know of herpes...
Avatar m tn t use condom all the time. I toke Valtrex and also medicinal herbs and tincture, and I ask her to take some too, to boost her immune system at the maximum. I would like to know why I don't have any pain or hitching? Do herpes infection have different level? I'm doing herbalist study and try to find more good information about this virus. and how to deal with it... also if I have herpes 1 why I have not any blister in my mouth or my lips? Sorry for my English, its not my first language.
Avatar n tn I have been under a tremendous amount of stress recently and had just had a rare (for me) outbreak of cold sores for which I was taking the two dose course of Valtrex. (If I remember correctly, I had just begun the Valtrex prescription the day the condom slipped off.) I know I need to be tested, but am just trying to make sense of this. I had a pimple (which I removed) in the exact same spot as the genital HSV outbreak at the same time I had the cold sore.
Avatar f tn I have now started suppressive therapy with valtrex sinc one into...but no actual relations. Is that really the condoms that are triggering the herpes? Do I have to change an uses non latex? Is the herpes virus in my body (even dormant) near my vagina?
Avatar n tn Thank you for the calming words AJ I have been a mess for the past 4 days. You read a lot of stuff online about herpes being highly contagious. I am worried because she had symptoms a day or two later....maybe she is lying or she didn't know she had the symptoms the day we had sex. She was under a lot of stress the prior week and I know from my recent research, that that brings out the herpes.
Avatar n tn No you shouldn't be having sex - even with a condom on until your ob is completely over. Are you on suppressive therapy?
Avatar n tn condoms and staying away from sex when an outbreak occurs and using Valtrex!!! Other than that, there is no 100% safe but safer is best you can do !!!
Avatar m tn Three days ago I visited a legal brothel in Nevada and had oral and vaginal sex with a prostitute. It lasted about 5-10 minutes. I wore a condom, but there may have been some skin to skin contact at the base of my penis. Afterward I immediately cleaned this area with a disinfectant (used to clean the shower) and washed the area in the shower. The next day I saw a doctor and got a prescription for Valtrex.
Avatar n tn Valtrex is strictly for the person who has herpes. There is no drug available as a preventative for someone who's herpes negative. You can read more about genital herpes, and watch a counseling video here at this website: http://www.westoverheights.com/genital_herpes/handbook/view_the_chapters.
Avatar m tn He wants to have sex without a condom, but I am worried. I am one of the people that have a hard time controlling outbreaks. I have gone from being inactive sexually to active in a short time. I did have an outbreak when we met early on before we were intimate due to new found arousal, I know we are in love and in the "wonder" stage, but can arousal cause the feelings of hotness in my genital area that comes and goes all day? I don't know if I am shedding or am just excited.
Avatar f tn I have now started suppressive therapy with valtrex sinc one into...but no actual relations. Is that really the condoms that are triggering the herpes? Do I have to change an uses non latex? Is the herpes virus in my body (even dormant) near my vagina?
Avatar n tn My male friend is SO scared when using a condom that he will not go into me very far for fear of getting it on the unprotected part of him. Obviously I do not have sex if I have leisons, which I have not had for a long time. Also what is his chance of getting it on his hands if he touches me there and he has no cuts or anything on his fingers? Are the chances the same for oral sex? I feel like a leper!
Avatar m tn As long as she has no symptoms and she is on Valtrex you will be fine. I think it is a 1.988883 chance Aunt Jessie, no quite 2%..
Avatar n tn About three months ago i used condom while trying to have sex. I have herpes and I am hiv negative, my concern is did i put myself at risk for hiv even though i used a condom?
Avatar n tn Umm i wouldnt be having sex without a condom. There is still risk involved even with a condom. Also she should be on valtrex to decrease the risk.
Avatar f tn ve known that I had it for almost 2 years). My doctor prescribed me with generic Valtrex and to take 2 pills when I feel even a slight tingling or what I suspect to be an outbreak. I've had sex with a man 3 times since being diagnosed. All 3 times we used a condom before any penis to vagina contact was made AND I took a Valtrex pill before intercourse. 2 questions - What are his chances of catching genital herpes from me?
Avatar f tn ve read enough materials to gather that there is absolutely no prove of Valtrex working to stop the virus on uninfected people. Sad that some doctors pass wrong information around. Thank you. I guess right now it's the waiting game (ie, torture). I hope you are so right!
Avatar m tn hi there waring. thanks for the info as always. i found the link after doing a basic search on valtrex no condom. it was the second page that popped up.
