HPV and Herpes
I have a few questions about HPV and herpes. I've previously been disgnosed with genital warts and was tested some time ago when no symptoms were present. Are swab tests as effective when there are no visible symptoms? My second question is regarding herpes. My partner has herpes and is taking acyclovir to suppress it. I heard somewhere that if I also take it then I am at lower risk of contracting the infection from him. Is this true?
Thank you
