A member asked:

If i take acyclovir twice daily, what are the odds that i could pass herpes virus (1&2) to my partner? we are trying to get pregnant so safe/sex with condoms wouldnt work. im not currently on the medication and havent had an outbreak in 5+ years?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Studies have shown that your taking a single dose of valtrex rather than acyclovir would reduce your transmission of hsv to your partner by 50%, and his taking it may lower his risk of getting hsv infection. A specialist in infectious diseas or, sexual health or the public health department can advise you best about what to do.
