Suppressive therapy or no?

So I'm recently single and since I contracted genital HSV1 from my ex it's really the first time I'm having to think about disclosing and dating and all of that and it's kinda confusing really.

Am I right in thinking that in all cases suppressive therapy will halve the risk of transmission? I'm just worried my GP might not give me long term prescriptions since I've only ever had 4 outbreaks that I can remember in the last 3 and a half years... And none in over a year! Has anyone else had experience of this and could give any suggestions?

Anything I can do to reduce the transmission risk will make me feel so much better about disclosing when it comes to it! 1% risk sounds so much better than 4% in my head

Just the fact that it does reduce shedding is enough to warrant asking, my oppinion.

That's my thinking... Peace of mind for myself more than anything else!! I'll see what my GP says... Fingers crossed they'll be understanding and knowledgeable about it!

I’m 100% sure your GP will write you a prescription. And if not change GP.

Find a new GP if they dont! I got a script from an online DR because it was going to take weeks to get in and be seen.

Thank you for your assurances, sometimes it's difficult to know what you can and can't expect as reasonable from a GP! I need to go for something else aswell so I will definitely be asking and insisting when I go!
