The doctor said I was exposed to Herpes and that i didnt have it to an extreme and he told me to take valtrex once a week instead of everyday cause i was only exposed, and not to an extreme of having sores or anything, I don't get sores on my mouth or genitals!. What does this mean that its not that serious!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your herpes is just as serious as anyone elses - except that you don't have apparent symptoms!. You can still spread the virus - with or without symptoms!. Your doctor doesn't quite know what iis talking about!. Maybe he was just trying to reassure you!? But his answer doesn't make a whole lot of sense!.
If you have the herpes virus, then you have the herpes virus!. And you can spread the herpes virus, even when you have no symptoms!. To the best of my knowledge, Valtrex does not work when taken weekly (or at least, no tests have been done!.) Antivirals tend to pass fairly quickly through your body (which is why the original Zovirax needed to be taken 5x per day!.) So once a week won't protect you from outbreaks, and it won't protect your partner from herpes!. You should really take it daily, or save your money!.
I assume that you have never had symptoms, and found that you had herpes through a blood test!? So you don't know WHERE you have herpes!. Maybe you have both types on your mouth - maybe you have both types on your genitals!. Most likely, you have HSV1 orally and HSV2 genitally - but we really don't know!.
There is no such thing as being a herpes "carrier" or being "exposed" to herpes!. You have the virus in your body, or you don't!. It's just that some people have symptoms and others don't!.
I would seriously consider getting another opinion!. Or better, learn about herpes from a relaible source - the link below, or WebMD, or the CDC website!.
Sorry to be such a downer, but you really do need to know how to protect your partners!. And your doctors wealth of mis-information is frankly, rather scary!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
