i was wanting other peoples input on if they went through this and came back negative. as her answers are helpful some i just wanted to hear from others, maybe to just ease my nerves a bit.
Except the first ob, I had one in 2010 after my surgery to remove fibroids, then I had twice sexual relations with condoms that triggered me an herpes only after three days. The second time I immediately took Valtrex so after one day I was perfectly fine. So in five years only three ob. When I have an ob after sex with condom the entry of my vagina closes itself and won't allow penetration. It seems that my only trigger for ob will be sex, or will be the condom.
I went to my urologist n just in case he gave me alyclovir cream n valtrex. which my sore healed 2 weeks ago. i thought my ob was over and i looked where my sore was which is pink n trying to heal back to normal, there was a tiny cut. this cut keeps reappearing. is it cotaagious still? I did a follow up n did more blood wrk n my dr said i have 1.5 % of herpes antibodies. which i dnt understand. h extended my valtrex for 15 more days. n said i only need to b on valtrec during an outbreak.
I think you need to come clean with him!! As much as he can transmit HSV2 to you, you could transmit HSV1 to him!! You are less likely to transmit the infection to him since the shedding rate is lower but at the same time, he is more opt to shedding 2 to you if he isn't on Valtrex so you both need to sit down and be honest!! Stay protected, get on Valtrex and have fun!!!

You cut that risk in half if she uses Valtrex daily, or if you two decide to use condoms. If she is already using the Valtrex daily, you are getting a protective effect from that, so your risk is down around 2% PER YEAR. That's not with each episode of sex, it's during your sexual relationship over a year. If you throw both of these methods into the mix, your risk, as you can imagine, is extremely low.
Oral sex is not really something to be concerned about.
I've been dealing with HSV 2 for a year and half now with outbreaks happening much less as time goes on , but still too often, averaging an outbreak every two months. Sometimes it is mild other times it is more severe. When I stay on Valtrex I don't get any outbreaks, but the downside is that Valtrex elevates my ALT readings for my liver. All of my other liver test readings are within range. My liver test that was done one year ago was perfect.
What is the possibility of being immune to Valtrex? Is there a possibility that after taking Valtrex daily that in a couple years it may no longer be effective?

Hi...I've had genital herpes for a little over 10 years now. I was first diagnosed (via culture swab) with type 1 and just recently had blood work and it showed positive for type 2 but negative for type 1...so I'm not too sure which type I have.
Up until about 6 months ago, I had never had another OB since my initial OB (which by the way I only really found out because I had an obgyn appt during the same week).
there are many uses for certain meds i take pills for parkinson's but i don't have that i have tardive dyskinesia :)
I know someone who has had the virus for 10 years. Only uses Valtrex with an outbreak. Does not use condoms with his partner and she has been HSV free for 7 years they have been together.
Thank you all for your great answers.
I am trying to know this:
if I do not use suppressive medicine, use condoms, have sex only when I do not have an outbreak. What is the risk?
From talking to people, it seems too low.
Let me know if you agree.
my partner who i met has been on Valtrex for a couple of years and the pass year we had unprotected sex. I went and got tested and my blood work came back negative. She is ok with the results and angry that she allowed me to convince her and not using condoms. I just can't explained why we did it without condoms only that I love her and we are getting marry.
Hello, i had a hsv 1 genital outbreak about a month ago, i have had this for six years and only one outbreak since the first time, my question is, do i really need to stay on the valtrex for surpresive therapy, or would it be smarter to stay on it to avoid giving it to someone else
actually labcorp uses the captia test even though they do still list the herpeselect on some of their websites. they stopped using herpeselect a few years ago when quest bought herpeselect.
how long prior to this had you last had sex?
I also get white, rough patches on my scrotum and I almost always get conjunctivitis. I have Ig H 6.34 for HSV-1 according to my blood work. I have been given 500mg/valtrex a day to take.
Question: Does this sound like herpes even though I don't outward get cold sores? Why do I always get conjunctivitis? Is the conjunctivitis viral or bacterial? I often feel like the valtrex does nothing, and the eye drops they give for conjunctivitis do nothing.
s just my immune system out of wack. If I get a cold sore and take Valtrex my stool become less painful. Right now, I have bloody skin, skinny stools and pain! when I go to the bathroom, this is nothing new for me. It's been 6 years! and I cry a lot because sometime I will just go to the bathroom and it will be bloody, skin like stuff. A usually diarreah. My doc says it's just UC and she doesn't believe it would be Herpes ...
