Does taking Acyclovir affect fertility?

[Lauren_JH]

Hey, 

so I’ve been diagnosed with GHSV-2 for just over a year and a half and I pretty much have outbreaks every month, they seem to be getting more and more painful, similar to my first ! As a result I’m wanting to start taking Acyclovir daily, to hopefully help reduce outbreaks and give me confidence to actually go back out and date people ! However as a 24 year old I’m also concerned about if Acyclovir can impact fertility as I would like to hopefully have a family in the next few years. I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or information regarding this ? Or if anyone who has taken acyclovir long term has managed to still go on to have healthy pregnancies? 

I’ve tried googling it but that just scared me more😅 

Thank you so much in advance 😌

Hey there! Acyclovir has no impact on fertility as far as I have heard, so you can officially let your worries about that go. 🙂
