There's nothing u can do it progress in time

Valtrex can help prevent the spread, but there’s not a 100% guarantee you won’t get it. I have heard that the antibodies your body has created against hsv 1 can also help protect against hsv 2, but you’d have to talk with your doctor on that. I have had hsv 2 for 5 years and haven’t spread it to any partners, at least that have shown any symptoms. Someone can have it and never show any symptoms. It’s a complicated virus. There’s obviously a social stigma but the virus itself is harmless besides some skin irritation on occasion
