So I have been diagnosed with hsv2... What is the success Raye of the medication if taken daily? How often does someone experience outbreaks if they are taking it daily? Do the outbreaks lessen? What is the probability of transmission?

Sexual transmission is reduced by about 50% on daily suppressive therapy. The main study on long-term discordant couples where one had established HSV-2 infection found female to male transmission rates to be around 4% per *year*. With condoms 2%, and with daily meds 1% (each reduces transmission by about 50%).
It is important to note, however, that the 4% starting point is likely higher for those with new or recent HSV-2 infections, as well as for those in new relationships, since there may be other factors at play in long-term discordant couples (e.g., the negative partner may have an as yet unknown resistance or the like).
