He told me to take the valtrex if I wanted to have sex. He never explained anything to me he just said u have hsv2 and since you haven't had an intial breakout you probably won't have one. He never said well if you have an outbreak take this valtrex twice a day for 3 days. My doc gave me nothing useful to help me so that's why I posted. I was under the impression that there were different doses for outbreaks. I don't know anything about what I have. Ask my ob why he down played it and said I'd probably never have a outbreak. But I went to the er. I'm good.
