I must admit I'm rather confused by the responses. Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I'm already taking the Acyclovir, so I'm not in need of medication. I want to avoid a c-section, because if it isn't necessary, then I wouldn't want major surgery with all the possible complications. Anyway, today is now Monday and I'm sure now that what I had was probably a threatened outbreak that never materialized and of course nothing to culture.
