Herpes Simplex, Suppression
"I was introduced to Valtrex for HSV2 suppression in mid 2000 after surgery to my groin.  The outbreak was the worst I had experienced in the 20 years that I&#039;d suffered.  The daily 500mg treatment worked immediately in clearing up the outbreak, and much more importantly, I&#039;ve been OUTBREK FREE since then to the posting of this note, July 2011.  I&#039;m a believer.  Now the VA has changed my prescription of Valtrex, once a day, to Acyclovir, 400mg twice a day.  I&#039;m fervently hoping the suppressive qualities I&#039;ve enjoyed with Valtrex remain...keeping my fingers crossed."
