Hello all! I have had genital HSV2 for 9 years and this is my very 1st time posting something about it on any forum. GAAHHH lol
I recently disclosed to a guy I've been talking to and to my surprise he was totally ok with it. Since he is Non-Pos I want to do the right thing and get on antiviral meds, but I'm a little worried about how it will effect my body. When I was 1st diagnosed I had my initial OB and was put on antivirals. Every 3 months or so I would have flare ups. After about a year, then single, I decided to stop taking the meds and have not had another real OB in 8 years. I get the tingling 1-2 times a year, but no actual OB.Now that I am considering getting back on the meds, I'm afraid that I will go back to having multiple OBs a year. Has anyone else had this experience?

Thank you both for sharing your thoughts. We have already agreed that we will use condoms for sure and I agree that the right thing to do is to get back on the anti-virals.
@Ubikwity I was taking Valtrex, but it this was back in 2010 and I have no clue what the dosage was, but I will definitely discuss your thoughts with my doc. It seems like that could have been a potential issue. And thanks for the insight on the OBs, always figured it was a OB trying to come but never quite making it, but shedding makes sense! lol
@happyman_adventurous I am completely with you on wanting the answer to the "awake" question. That is my biggest fear - if I start the meds and end up with more OB than I've had in years. I feel I would run the risk of transmission more on the meds than if we had just used condoms. smh I think i'll ask my doc this question as well, but if anyone knows please share!!
