Thanks for replying! I know I can't pass it on by hugging them or anything like that but sometimes by anxiety makes me think pretty irrationally. Im exposed to people with hep c and hiv and whatever else everyday at work.. I know all about these things but that didn't really matter over the past week while I was waiting for results. Im thinking that taking the suppressive meds would help and would definitely make me feel a little better by easing my mind but I know the people I've talked to have said it's not necessary. I've been trying to find more info about it so that I know what I'm talking about when I go to the dr so that I can better advocate for myself.. knowing that it is still effective for someone with hsv1 is very helpful for me.. thanks again

Question.. I just found out yesterday that I tested positive for hsv1 genitally.. I know there is less chance of more OB's than with HSV2. I asked the clinic about taking suppressive meds.. they said it's not usually necessary. Is it necessary or can it help? I think it would ease my mind knowing that I'm taking them and am lessening the chance of giving this to someone else.. for the last week I've been too afraid to even touch my kids.. I know that's ridiculous and irrational thinking and they aren't going to get it from a hug but thats where my head is at the moment
