[difficultroadahead]

 

Hi All Thanks for everyones input on this group.

A month now after being tested positive for HSV 1 and 2 and having my 1st outhbreak,life has been terrible feel like its the end of the road.

After reading lots on this group and doing research I would like to know success stories of you all that have been on suppressive therapy and for how long and not infecting your partner.This is my greatest fear.Been on zelitrex(valtrex) for a month now 500mg.

Thanks

Hey @difficultroadahead! My wife and I have been together for 4+ years and I take daily suppressive therapy (acyclovir). We didn't use protection for a while (hence this beautiful child) and she hasn't contracted herpes yet. 

So it sounds like you are in a relationship?

Hi Mr Hopp

Yes I am in a realtionship and would never want to transmit

We taking all the  precautions but still a nervous wreck

Be careful, but don’t be paranoid. 🙂 Being careful creates more connection in the relationship while paranoia disconnects. Use this experience as an opportunity for deeper and deeper connection instead of a brick wall to it. 

Here’s a video I made that might help instill this reframe: https://www.herpesopportunity.com/post/keeping-your-partner-herpes-free-can-be-super-sexy
