Reply To: Does suppressive therapy actually protect a partner?

Worth saying that suppressive therapy is one of several things stacked together rather than the whole answer. Condoms reduce risk further, avoiding sex during an outbreak or when you feel one coming reduces it further again.

Stacked, the numbers get quite reassuring. Relying on one of them alone is where people get caught out.
