Yes, acyclovir has the same results with shedding as Valtrex IF you take it as directed which is 400 mg twice per day.
Yes your current partner should be tested for HSV 2 to see where he stands. If he is negative and you used a condom for sex with the other person and it was just once, then I would recommend your diagnosis be confirmed with a herpes western blot antibody test. Your antibody test, as the value you reported, could be a false positive result
