We do not have stats on valtrex with genital hsv1 when taken suppressively like we do with hsv2.

If you have HSV-1 and take valtrex doesn't that reduce the percent to 2%?
We really don't have studies that look at shedding patterns for folks infected with hsv1 genitally long term :( As of now - it's 3% of days on average for hsv1 genitally. That would mean 3 days out of every 100 days the virus is active on average in most folks.

I meant to ask, is genital hsv-1 the most contagious in the early years than in later years? Does shedding events reduce as the time goes on and as the number of outbreaks reduce?
