    Things That Make you go Hmmm!
    I have been dating a woman for over a year. Now engaged and at one time I thought she was unfaithful with someone from her past. I got over that until just recently when she has cut back on our activities in the bed room. We take showers together and all so I haven't see anything suspicious. The other day I was looking for my Credit Card I let her borrow when I found a Valtrex bottle prescription in her purse. I haven't questioned her YET but I have hinted around it too her to see if she would open up and tell me yes she has HSV 1 or HSV 2. I haven't seen shingles nor have I seen cold sores. This sucks cause I know the incubation period and I know the signs and symptoms for these two viral issues and I have none them. So the Only thing I can't find out is. Does Valrex treat anything else. I know she has been on Cipro for a UTI recently and With Cipro you can get other Infections from taking Cipro. So ANY CLUE??

    Valtrex is used only for HSV, nothing else. However, it is being used as an investigational medicitne for posttransplant patients.

    You need to talk to her about this. It is possible that she got herpes before you two met? Is it possible that she has had a transplant?

    From taking Cipro the only other infection you can get is a yeast infection which is treated with an anti-fungal medication.

    If she is not as open in the bedroom recently it is possible that she is having an outbreak.

    If you both have a wonderful relationship, you need to openly discuss this with her.
