Herpes Transmission

[Pixedust]

Ok, I am making myself absolutely crazy. 9 years ago I was with a man who had herpes.  I found this out because I got a serious outbreak and  just wanted to die.  For two years I had an outbreak approximately 4 or 5 times a year.  I was placed on Valtrex and they seemed to diminish.  I may have had a couple here and there but for the past 2 years I have had none.  I've been with a new man for approximately 2 years now and continue to take my Valtrex (1 Gram) daily.  Can you tell me what risk I have of transmitting this disease to him??

I want to thank you for a quick response.  I'm female.  I'll make sure to read the herpes handbook.  I've read all kinds of literature over the internet for years and every one of them differs.  Thanks again for your response and making me breath a LITTLE easier.

I encourage you to read the herpes handbook at www.westoverheights.com. It sounds like you've never really done a lot of reading on the basics of herpes so I recommend reading it when you get a chance.  Your partner can also read it to learn more too. It's free to read online or print out at home.

If you are female and your partner is male ( you didn' t list your gender to help me out here ) and you two do nothing but avoid sex during obvious lesions on yourself - he's about 96% likely each year NOT to contract hsv2 from you. You being on suppressive therapy cuts that risk in half.  Throw in condoms too with all that and he's 99% likely each year NOT to contract hsv2 from you.
