Acyclovir for Herpes
Hi,
Let's assume that I am positive for both HSV type I and type II.
My partner is negative.
If we both take Acyclovir daily, will this increase the chance of partner staying negative?
Also, if you engage in oral or traditional sex while no blisters are present, but you are shedding the virus, can you then transfer the virus to other parts of your body?
Same question if blisters are present, or your red or swollen?
Thank you!

Hi,
I am new to all of this. I am not sure how to start a new "thread," so I hope you excuse the fact that I am writing here.
What are the chances of contracting herpes from receiving oral sex (fellatio) one time?

Thank you for your grace:)
I'm not that bright sometimes...
I will start a new thread from now on.
Thank you all for your help and comments. It's comforting to know that I am not alone with this.

I am not saying a thing about you coming here for advice that is what these Forums are for ...... all I am saying is that it causes confusion jumping onto a thread that was started by someone else with a different issue and using their name,thats why it is called hijacking a thread ( not hijacking the account or PC lol ) ...... you should have started a completly new thread and made it clear you were not the same person with the same problem or changed your name on the Forum for your own issues .....
Most of us are not here everyday and pick up threads at different stages of it so I hope you understand how annoying it is to realise it's not the original thread that was started it's something completly different .....
You are most welcome to come here for advice at any time and we will help as much as possible this was just a tad annoying for me because I don't like when I get confused lol ......

It was not my intention to mislead or waste anybodys time.
Geez, Cant friends share an account to ask questions or get information.
It was not my intent to "hijack" anyones account.
He is here with me and told me that this was informative place to go for help and questions.
Sorry if we caused any harm.
Not everyone is distrusting. We didnt know that you cant use the same account to ask questions.
I dont own a computer and I dont want to post at work on company computer.
Sorry.

I was not in any way suggesting that people cannot get Herpes even with a condom,my annoyance was that I was confused as to what I was replying to because I went back to the original Post to remind myself where it started which was from a guy who is married and sleeping with someone else which meant for me things weren't adding up with what was being said right now ..... I then find this is not the same person but someone who has hijacked the thread with his own issue and used the original Posters name as well ........... I don't find that acceptable at all I don't care if it's a shared account or not it is misleading and time consuming for those of us trying to help and advise as many people as possible with limited time to do so .....

Hey Daisy,
I have read some of your other post and i like your attitude towards all the issues, especially your use of comparrisons. I will say though, that i just found out i have herpes 2 as well and i did use condoms all the time and get tested every 6 months as well. My doc told me my boyfriend probably had a lesion in his pubic hair or was a-symptomatic and condoms are not fool proof, there are exceptions. Just to give 2 sides to the story. But 'tom52" or who ever you are, you really should brighten up. I just found out today and reading many of these post has made me feel alot more comfortable. It truly is just a cold sore on your genitals. If your partner understands then there should be no holding back.

Then do NOT accuse me of assuming anything get your own name doing this causes confusion .....
In fact don't bother I read your original post you're the guy who's married and sleeping with another woman ....

I was protected. Tested and condom use.
Even if you are tested, use a condom whether you are positive or negative you can transmit the virus.
The only guarantee is NO SEX. Ever. Or finding that one person who has never had sex with anyone, and you having no sex ever with anyone - and staying together with only each other forever!!!
But even then, you could have been kissed my a friend or family member witht the virus and have it oraly anyway.
One pure person with another pure person is the only chance that you have for not getting this virus.
Sure I will miss my unprotected sex with my love. Dont you? Isnt that the gift of being in love? Unprotected in everyway. Vunerable but being safe.Thats what love is about.

You are not in mourning for anything except your unprotected sex life ...... for people who get HSV2 it is like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted and have to now do what we should have done in the first place and that is ....played safe and protected ourselves .....
We are all in charge of what we are prepared to risk and for all of us with HSV2 we took the risk of unprotected sex and are now paying the price for that so we have no one to blame but ourselves ... sure it's a tough lesson but whats done is done and nothing will change that so you need to find some form of acceptance of the fact that you are now in charge of keeping others safe,it is not the end of your sex life it is only the end of your unprotected sex life,and that is what you cannot accept,if you wish to take it to dramatic levels and look on it as a death of part of your life then that is your choice to do,but as Grace said you are giving this way more power than it deserves.

It is what it is and it does have power.
Herpes changes everything.
You are not being realistic if you ignore and try and have a regular sex life again.
Herpes is the begining of the end to your sex life as you once knew it.
Sad, but very true. This is a loss and I am mourning.

Sad, but very true. This is a loss and I am mourning.
You are giving the virus far more power than it deserves.
If you don't have a completely normal sex life it's because you chose not to , not because you have herpes.

This virus *****. I know that there are worse things that I could have, but this also is a painful virus that shatters your self estem and your libedo just goes away. It retreats with the virus after the inital "attack" and or additional "outbreaks" A person truly has no idea if your spreading the virus or not. Who can relax enough to actualy enjoy sex and the freedom of expression? I cant seem to stop thinking that I could hurt my lover if I make love to him/her. :(
I dont want to infect - I want to love. My sexual relationship was my way of expressing the special feelings that I have for my partner in a way that I celebrated nothing else. It was a safe and special act that was so pure. :(
Herpes *****. Life *****.

We have no info that shows that the uninfected partner taking daily suppressive therapy provides them with any protection against acquiring herpes. In early mouse studies there was no protection so human studies haven't really been pursued.
Once you acquire herpes yourself, your body develops significant protection from transmitting the virus to other body parts.
