Suppression treatments

what is the recommended dosages for the 3 main Herpes suppression treatments. I am overseas and have access to acyclovir. Does that seem to work the same as the other two? Thank you

only time will tell what your recurrences will be like.

for ob's acyclovir is either 800mg 3x/day for 2 days or 400mg 3xday for 5 days. both heal lesions at the same rate.

yes it did and I was sorry to hear she had tested 5.80 on IGG test so I am pretty much infected. She did say she is itching down there at times during her period but never thought it could be herpes. Anyways had first breakout March 28 and just a couple days ago had 2 small blisters in the groin area that have just about disappeared already. Does this sound normal and what can I expect going forward...thank you grace
