Medavir really seems to help but you must be careful, even if medavir stops your outbreaks the webiste clearly states you can still spread herpes to others. Medavir stops outbreaks but does not remove the virus from your body so viral shedding can occur

Unfortunately, even if there are no visible sores there is still a small chance that you can get herpes. The odds are low but you should get checked out.

If herpes is not present can you still get it from kissing?
If one person does not have herpes, it is highly unlikely for them to contract it by kissing someone with herpes. However, there is still a small risk of transmission if there are active herpes lesions or sores present on the person with herpes. It is always advisable to practice safe kissing and maintain good oral hygiene.
How long can live when you are having herpes?
Herpes will not affect lifespan. Almost everyone has the oral form of herpes simplex virus. Both the oral and genital forms integrate into our genomes after we are infected and will cause periodic outbreaks. As time goes on these will most likely become less and less frequent. Therefore people who have had genital herpes for decades will have fewer outbreaks in a year, or possibly none at all. This does not indicate that they have been "cured" or no longer have the virus as they are still able to spread the infection while asymptomatic.

If you have herpes and your partner does too but you are not breakin out can you kiss?
I haven't heard or read anywhere that HSV I, cold sores on the mouth, can be transmitted even when there are no cold sores present, but HSV II, genital herpes, CAN still be spread even when no sores are present on the genitals. That seems a little confusing. It is called "shedding." I would ask the family doctor. And just a reminder to others: you cannot catch genital herpes just by kissing someone who is having an outbreak. Cold sores on the mouth (HSV I) are not quite the same as sores on the genitals (HSVII) There is now more investigation into whether or not oral herpes can be spread to the genitals, also that genital herpes can be transmitted orally. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is doing further research into it, but it does now seems possible that the two strains of the virus may have the potential for cross-contamination. I haven't found any information as to what this means and if the two viruses can transmutate into the other.
Who spread Jesus' traditions?

Valtrex is an example of prescribed medication for treating herpes. Treating, because you cannot cure herpes with any medications.
