Would like some suggestions

Hi I desperately need some advice. I have had herpes now for over 20 years. I got it from a boyfriend who cheated. I have been married 3 children and divorced since. I now have a new partner who I have been with for 4 years. He has coughs it off me ( he was fully informed). The problem is everytime we have sex 3 days later he has a outbreak. I am on famvior daily. He takes it after we have sex. He doesn't have a breakout after he masterbates and doesn't use lube then. It is really becoming a issue in our relationship :(

Is he taking antivirals on a daily basis? How long ago was he infected? If it's pretty new for him, sex may be a trigger for him for a while. This is where it's worth him trying a daily antiviral and using lots of lube. I'm no expert, but I've never heard (on these forums or other sites or books) of people just popping an antiviral after sex.
