Anyone know of this?

I found Valtrex and acyclovir in my boyfriend's house, filled 4/2006.

He claims it is for a virus in his hand from a bone spur, not Herpes.

Is this possible? I have been looking for some kind of facts information to corroborate this explanation, I and can't find any information to justify that this even exists.

Any help or information is much appreciated. Thank you.

I agree with the other poster. Your boyfriend does not appear to be good at lying!! You probably have been exposed to something you do not want any part of, head to your doctor and get checked out.

just look up what these drugs are supposed to actually treat on one of the many Rx sites on the net or call your pharmacy and ask specifically what these meds treat,and ask about a 'bone spur virus' i agree with the others,you really DO need to find out whats up and most importantly,what you may have been exposed to.i have a ton of bone spurs in my c and t spine and was never ever given any sort of antiviral type of meds.what he is telling you does not even sound possible since abone spur is a solid calcification.good luck to you and please keep us posted.FB

Wow- You have every reason to be concerned. I think acyclovir is the generic of Valtrex, and if he says it's for a virus from a bone spur in his hand he is probably not telling you the truth.

The only other virus I saw that Valtrex treats is the cytomegalovirus which is basically the same thing as herpes.

Follow your instincts. If you think he's hiding something, then chances are he is and if he is being dishonest with you, then you need to stop the madness now. A relationship is built on trust and if you can't trust him, he should be out the door- especially if he is/has potentially put you at risk of contracting and STD.

Good Luck, and I do hope he doesn't have an STD. Please keep us informed.
