Many thanks @Lifegoeson this is comforting to hear. I will take all the preventive measures (acyclovir, garlic, l-lysine, stress-free, condoms, gentler sex lol), but it looks like if it is "confined" to an area, you have a bit more of freedom of movement (good news). I have more questions that I will post on the forum. Best regards,

Hi friends, I caught herpes in that part of the penis that the condom won't cover: the base. Bad news. However I'm positive, and I am sure I will manage it just fine. I had several questions though: 1) to get the most out of acyclovir's preventive power, we have to take 400mg morning and night "for live", every day. Could I reduce this to only the days I'm going to have sex? Or a day before + the same day? Is this risky? 2) If I am shedding asymptomatically, and the infected area touches / rubs / pounds a girl's THIGH slightly (thick skin), can I pass the virus? 3) If I am shedding asymptomatically, and my PUBIS touches a girl's PUBIS slighlty, can I pass the virus? (Pubis = abdominal area below the belly button) 4) If my outbreak area is in the base of the penis, are other areas below the waistline equally dangerous (ie. can they pass the virus / do they shed)? Many thanks for your help,
