    Hey!

    Take a look at the std project 😃 I don't want to write the actual webpage cause they will block my comment.

    GHSV1 has less outbreaks and a lower viral shedding rate! Probably is know one knows when they are shedding! But even at that it is only a few days out of the years! If you wanted and it was an option for you suppressive therapy can cut viral shedding by up to 70% that and condom use!

    Even if not on suppressive therapy, not having sex while having an outbreak and occasional unprotected sex chances are only around 4%.

    Although I am strongly for disclosing to every partner, herpes is extremely common! If you partner has oral hsv1 ( which most do) you are safe! Just make sure you know they are up to date with their screens 😃! Don't let herpes hold you back! All that has to change is disclosure and learning your outbreak signs 😃
