Question on antivirals please

[casi1001]

Hello fellow HSV veterans, I have a question for the consensus. I just started dating someone who has OHSV1 and I have GHSV2. I know that I should be pretty well protected from getting OHSV1 from him but he isn't protected from getting GHSV2 from me. We discussed it and decided I would go back on antivirals to give a bit more protection but I can't find anywhere how long we should wait before having sex. Does anyone have a timeline for me? Are we talking days or weeks?

I just discussed this same thing with my doctor who specializes in HSV.  The answer is it take 5 days on antiviral before the suppressive effects kick in.  So wait 5 days.
