the valtrex and transmission study never looked at hsv1 either orally or genitally.
How long have you and your bf been together? His warts just showed up 2 weeks ago?

just got em like 2 weeks ago yes he had em frozen but probably needs another treatment or two. according to the studies on valtrex i thought it showed 70% reduction on shedding for hsv1.
We don't have any info to know if suppressive therapy reduces transmission of hsv1 to a partner. Hsv1 genitally doesn't shed very often so suppressive therapy doesn't give you a lot of bang for your buck to boot. It's ok to take it if you feelt he peace of mind is worth it but it's a lot of money and effort for hsv1 genitally.
Has your bf had his warts removed? How long ago did he have them?

i had an out break and they tested my blood initially and there were no antibodies about 6 months later they finally showed up in my blood. ive had about 3 more OBs since then. i take suppressive therapy so i dont pass it to anyone ( i gave it to one person already) hes going to get tested to see if he has antibodies too. im getting my gardasil this week although it wont help if i already have been exposed to it but it will protect me from the other ones.
How were you diagnosed as having hsv1 genitally? Why are you on suppressive therapy for it? Has your current partner been tested to know his own hsv status? Have you had your gardasil shots yet?
