Should I Take Famvir Before Surgery to Prevent Genital Herpes Outbreak?

June 4, 2012
Asked By:tara1123

I have genital herpes but rarely have outbreaks. I only take famvir when there is an outbreak. I am going for a brazilian butt lift using fat transfer. Should I take famvir before and after surgery to prevent an outbreak?
