Daily antivirals are much more effective than condoms at reducing the chance of transmission.
Soo your saying if I take antivirals everyday we can have sex without a condom and the chances are very low that he would catch the virus???
Yes, that's what he's saying. With daily suppressive therapy (taken by you), the odds of him becoming infected are something like 4% over the course of an entire year of normal sexual frequency. 4% per year. Think about that... pretty low. That assumes you'd be avoiding any sex when you were having prodromal symptoms or having signs of a recent outbreak.
Remember, it's not as easy for a man to contract which is why the percentage would be higher if it was him carrying the virus and trying to keep you protected.
Okay so what's the name of the medicines I should take and could I get them at any drug store
Valtrex or Famvir. You can't get them without a prescription from your doctor. Famvir is the cheaper of the two.
Okay thank you so much I'm going to start trying it
