does valtrex reduce the risk of speading herpes without using a condom when you don't have a breakout?

Question

i need to know about valtrex and not giving my boyfriend herpes we don't use condoms i haven't had a breakout in over a year and have been on valtrex for 2 years

Answer 1

Valtrex HELPS prevent the spread of herpes, but it doesn't guarantee it . If a person has sex with someone who has genital herpes there is ALWAYS going to be a chance they will contract the virus from them. Nothing is 100% effective in preventing genital herpes or any other STDs.

Of course being on suppress therapy (like Valtrex) helps prevent the spread of the virus. Also, using condoms helps A LOT. I know you and your boyfriend say you don't use condoms, but it really helps preventing the spread of the virus. And, NEVER have sex when you are on an outbreak or think you are getting an outbreak. Genital herpes can be spread when a person is on an outbreak or not, but chances are even greater if they are currently having an outbreak.

I have had genital herpes for 6+ years now. I was with my ex for almost 4 years and he never got the virus, but I was with my current fiance (boyfriend at the time) for only 3 months when he contracted it from me. I hadn't had an outbreak in almost 2 years and he still got it from me!

No matter what kind of precautions a person takes, nothing totally prevents the spread of genital herpes.

Genital herpes, commonly known as herpes, is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). This viral infection has no treatment, but with potent antiviral treatment, its symptoms can be lessened and kept under tolerable limits. Valtrex and Famvir are among the 2 most prescribed medicines for the treatment of both male genital herpes and female genital herpes. These 2 drugs can delay the outbreaks of symptoms and can also prevent herpes transmission between sexually active partners. The herpes simplex virus causes genital herpes, cold sores, herpes zoster (shingles) and chicken pox.
Herpes simplex virus
The herpes simplex virus can be spread through any form of person-to-person contact - be it sexual or asexual. But transmission of the virus occurs mostly during sexual contacts. But if a person has an active outbreak of herpes, the infection can be transmitted through mere skin contact with the infected area. The virus usually enters the body through small openings in the skin. The herpes virus cannot stay alive for too long outside the body. But once it's inside your body, it is invincible and cannot be killed or eliminated. This is why Valtrex and Famvir are the most sought after herpes treatments. Let's find out more.

it does not matter if you have not had a breakout valtrex is made to reduce the number of breakouts and you NEED to wear a condom EVERYTIME you have sex because you still carry the virus even tho you dont have breakouts. if you and your partner are having unprotected sex then he needs to go to the dr the chances are very high he has contracted the STD a well
