Anybody not give it to their partner?
Posted , 11 users are following.
So I've been "with" someone since August and I've only ever had one outbreak last October. I take the medication somewhat sporadically but more often if I know we are going to mess around. I was wondering if anybody with genital herpes has NOT given it to their partner when or if they have unprotected sex? It's possible right? I mean for your partner to not catch it? The doctor told me the meds would help reduce outbreaks and the chance of me giving it someone. Is this true? Has anybody had unprotected sex with someone and they didn't catch it?
Thanks

The problem lies with asymptomatic shedding, since this happens without (recognised) symptoms and at random. Asymptomatic shedding is responsible for up to 70% of new infections (mostly Type 2). The type of HSV you have makes a big difference. Type 2 outbreaks and sheds far more frequently than Type 1.

My ex has been to see some specialist who did bloods on him as his sores were almost healed up. Now I'm not sure if it was Igg or Igm and he won't have results till next week but just so I'm clear if / when he lets me know, why is one more reliable than the other?
