I take acyclovir for my herpes can i have sex with out condoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can or should?: You can have sex without condoms any time, but it is not wise. Acyclovir will certainly limit the degree to which this virus may be transmitted to your partner, but not eliminate the risk, to say nothing of the risk of your getting something in return.
