You may or you may not have ob's as soon as you stop. suppressive therapy only works while you are taking it. Once you stop, you tend to go back to your previous pattern. Starting suppressive therapy doesn't mean once you stop it, you'll get more ob's. All the herpes antivirals do is disrupt the viral replication process. The virus is still active the same amount, just suppressive therapy nips it in the bud so it can't replicate as much to shed and cause ob's as often.

Thanks for the reply. I just have one more question. If i take suppressive therapy for say a few months and then I choose to stop would it mean I have an outbreak once I stop? Or would the outbreaks be more frequent than now as my body is used to having the suppressive therapy to keep the herpes at bay?
no, herpes doesn't lead to penile cancer.
If you are having more ob's , give suppressive therapy a try. why have more ob's than you have to?
no, no long term effects from daily suppressive therapy.

does anyone have any answers/advice to my questions please?
