Breakout and trip to the River :/

So I am currently having my second vaginal breakout. Ive been taking Valtrex and super lysine. It's been 4 days, and it is still there. I have a trip planned in 3 days to go to the river. I'm worried about the breakout in the river water... I don't want it to become infected (or more so). Should I cancel the trip?

Thanks Like360 for your response. I was more concerned with whether or not the river water would irritated or cause a worse infection on my outbreak. Do you think I should be fine?

Hi, breaking out in the river water is no harm to anyone. Its a very fragile virus and is not spread that way.
