Genital herpes outbreak question

Kristin

I was diagnosed in 2007 (the first guy I ever slept with had it and didn't tell me) and I've been on Valtrex (Valacyclovir) since. Before it was just as needed but now it's every day; I outbreak maybe once or twice a year. When I get one, even catching it early, it still takes almost a week to heal. Has anyone used other medications that work better?
