How Long Does HSV1 Remain Contagious?

My Test report of HSV 1+2 IgM & IgG ,Serum a).Non reactive= 1.20. I took Famciclovir 250 mg for 2 month & 500mg for another 2 month after getting test report. After that my doctor says everything will be alright after 6-7 month. So gave me some pain killers to be used during body/muscle/joints pain. Now it is nearly it is nearly 8 months,but still time to time iam feeling itchy all around the body, uncomfort in my groin area, joints & muscle fatigue, worst among is the continuos lips dryness,which really make mouth very uncomfortable. Now my query is that as per the information available on internet website it is recomended to take suppresive medicine regularly. But my doctor says nothing to worry & can resume free sex with wife. But i fear that,i may infect my wife, so unless I confirm I don`t want to resume my free sex with my wife. Also Please let me how much it is infectious? How it is risky kissing my kids & wife during my dryness of lips? Is the lips dryness a symptom of outbreak? Is this lips dryness because of the HSV1 infection? How to get rid of llips lips dryness? How long shall I used take the medication? Can I resume free sex with my wife? Doctor. please advice & prescript suitable medicine & clear my query.
