Acyclovir-resistant HSV

[RandomStranger]

Is anyone dealing with this, know anyone who is, or have information about it?

A guy I'm interested in says he has it.  From what I've been able to glean from a search it usually occurs in the immunocompromised but he insists he's HIV negative, and is otherwise healthy as far as I know.

I'd rather not pick up something that's untreatable.  Is it more or less infectious?  I'm guessing prophylactic Valtrex won't protect me. 

I'm not asking for personal advice, just medical/scientific information - if anyone has a source.  So if you're that guy who enjoys bullying those who post or reply, don't bother.

HSV is always there.  Acyclovir only treats breakouts.
