Viral shedding is where your body produces infectious virus particles and is infectious. At this time, genital herpes can be transmitted to others and is typically accompanied by an outbreak. With asymptomatic shedding, there are no symptoms, which means you can transmit to others without being aware.
The patient experience we are providing is very important to me. No jumping through hoops, just evidence-based FDA-approved medication and the most effective treatments that are legally and medically sound. I am excited to help others feel good about themselves without feeling embarrassed or ashamed of what is medically happening to their bodies.
