A member asked:
Is it true that there have been some cases if people testing negative for hsv-2 after a year of taking valacyclovir?

Herpes: Nope. This is not true. Valacyclovir does not cure one of the herpes infection. Their antibody test for herpes would remain positive if they have been infected with herpes.
