HE needs to ask for Valtrex--or the MUCH cheaper acyclovir--if HE has it.
He can reduce the possibility of transmitting it to you to just 1% per year by:
Taking antiviral meds
Always wearing a condom
Avoiding sex during an outbreak and for 3-4 days after
As for your test, if you were recently infected, it will take 2 weeks-4 months for a herpes IgG type-specific blood test to provide you with an accurate diagnosis. It takes that long for people to develop the antibodies that show they are infected. A test around the 3 month mark AFTER exposure is pretty reliable.Dear concerned:
NO.
1. Valtrex is expensive. If you don't have it, don't buy it.
2. It has side effects.
3. Love can be a few months or years. Herpes is life time, make a good decision.
4. You can get test for hsv1 and hsv2. If the first came back false and you want to make sure the test is wrong, you can get tested again in 90 days. If both came back negative, you don't have it.
