"The virus cannot spread to areas other than the genital area."
"The lesions may reoccur in times of stress."
"I am only contagious while the lesions are present."
"I can have unprotected sex as long as I am taking acyclovir."
The Correct Answer is B
"The lesions may reoccur in times of stress." This statement indicates that the client understands that the virus can reactivate and cause new outbreaks during times of stress.
Choice A is not correct because the virus can spread to other areas through skin-to-skin contact.
Choice C is not correct because the virus can still be contagious even when no lesions are present.
Choice D is not correct because having unprotected sex can still transmit the virus even while taking acyclovir.
