I talked to my family doctor and he is reluctant to have me go on
suppression therapy because he is concerned to me building resistance
to a medication.  I'd like to protect a partner from getting the
disease.

Right now I estimate that since I've had the disease for so long,
since 1986, that helps lower the transmission rate.  I've had the
"standard" battery of STD tests at Planned Parenthood and no problems.

Since that time a complication, in that I recently was put on Torpol
for my heart rythym because of slightly elevated blood pressure and an
electrical problem wherein my heart beats too fast, gets in a "loop"
and I feel unsteady, panicky, and sometimes collapse.  Not fun.

I'm thinking of seeing a gyn who I would expect to have more
experience because it takes so long to get an appointment at Planned
Parenthood (and I'll be able to afford the gyn and the medication)..

What kind of questions should I ask when deciding on a gyn and
coordinating a family doctor, cardiologist, and an ob-ob-gyn.  (I'm
experiencing the transitional symptoms into menopause and have _no_
intention of having more children.)

Aside to Angela:  I did a normal delivery, with doctor's approval, in
1996 while having an outbreak on my buttocks that was starting to
heal.  Nothing passed to baby.  She was and remains quite healthy :-)
