My hsv1 bumps have cleared up a few days ago since taking valtrex.am i now more likely to shed the virus at this time when being intimate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less likely: but always possible to shed virus at times, with no lesions, or symptoms. Condoms are good idea. Discussion with partner, sharing is caring.
