Successful Suppression

If one were to take 500mg. of Valtrex 3x day would one be able to have safe sex / no worries about transmitting HSV 1 & 2 to their spouse who has neither?  What about 4x?  I don't want to hurt my liver.  Thank you.

odds are it's not a herpes issue if you are still having constant issues.

what sort of work up are you going through?

how were you originally diagnosed?

Then why am I still broken out--almost constantly?  It's never gone completely away!  There HAS been ALOT of stress in my life for the past 3 yrs. which I'd guess has everything to do with this...

you only have to take it daily. really no benefit from taking the higher doses or taking it more frequently.
