Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Herpes / August 2006shedding without an initial outbreak
Could someone who has never been symptomatic still be contagious via shedding? Thanks. B > Could someone who has never been symptomatic still be contagious via > shedding? > > Thanks. > > B Yes, unfortunately. But, the good news is the longer a person has herpes (symptomatic or asymptomatic), the less they shed. And, the antivirals, such as Valtrex, do cut down on shedding. So, even if someone has never had symptoms, there still is something they can do to help protect a partner. ar Depends on the viral type, where the infection is at, how long since the initial infection. There are several factors affecting asymptomatic shedding, perhaps hit Westover Heights Herpes hanbook there for more info on that. ~Eric > Could someone who has never been symptomatic still be contagious via > shedding? > > Thanks. > > B > Depends on the viral type, where the infection is at, how long since > the initial infection.

Please keep in mind B that no matter which type of herpes simplex virus you have OR where it's located there is always going to be a possibility for viral activity to be present on the surface of the skin even when there are no signs OR symptoms that you can see OR feel. No matter the stats OR the varying degrees asymptomatic shedding is possible in all herpes situations.
