How effective is Valacyclovir in preventing transmisson of HSV-2 to women?I have been recently diagnosed with HSV-2. The outbreaks don't bother me as much as the chances of transmitting the disease to another partner. I have been prescribed Valacyclovir and I was wondering how effective the drug is in preventing transmission to a female partner plus using condoms.

Acyclovir is supposed to suppress out breaks and make you less likely to pass herpes onto your partner, it's the generic version of Valtrex. But even if you take it regularly you still have a VERY small chance of passing it to your partner. It can reduce your chances of passing it to less then 5 percent per year, if you take it regularly.
