A member asked:
I'm not sure, but should uninfected partner also take antiviral pills after sex with infected herpes partner?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treat + partner: That might work, but what's more effective is for the infected partner to take medications chronically to help prevent transmission to a negative partner.
