I'm schedule to have a mommy makeover including breast implants in 10 days. I got herpes 10 years ago. Even do I don't have an outbreak right now I feel very nervous about surgery. Is Valacyclovir a safe prescription to take or is better Aciclovir? I'm currently taking 1 tablet / 3 times a day of Valacyclovir and planning to continuo after surgery. Thanks a lot
