Reply To: HSV1 IGG Result and Time of Exposure

[doqq08]

Thanks again! Reasoning was based on my understanding that genital HSV-1 sheds at a very low rate after 2 years (I think I saw study that said about 4 days a year on average?), so if I have not transmitted this to my partner I was thinking that could be a reason since I always thought oral herpes was easier to transmit.

Last follow up: do people with no symptoms or symptoms that are very mild they may go unnoticed benefit from anti-viral suppressive therapy? I read that many doctors do not like to prescribe daily anti-virals for people that have no noticeable outbreaks.
