Looking for advice from HSV2 positive men...

Ok, so my bf of a year in Oct was diagnosed at the same time I was in Feb. since then, we've been on 500 mg of valtrex daily for suppression since we both had had frequent outbreaks before we knew what we had. We both have been ob free since, but this wk he noticed a swollen red area on his scrotum about an inch or so all around. Today he said there's a red spot and scab. Could this be an outbreak? It looked nothing like his previous ones. He has had a lot of stress at work lately. He doesn't have the itching and soreness that he did with the previous outbreaks either.

I'm not a male, but meds are only meant to assist w keeping ibs at bay, but doesn't stop them completely. While on meds and having an OB, seems to make the obs more atypical and less symptoms associated w them, such as it hing or pain. I don't even having a warning when mine are coming and they are not painful. Sounds like a minor OB to me.
