I've had an H- partner, didn't use condoms but took antivirals and did not transmit. I'm currently with a new HSV- person and not planning on using condoms. We talked about me going back on suppressive therapy, but so far opted not to as I haven't had any OBs since my first month (almost a year ago).
talk with your doctor. talk with your partner. do what feels right. the founder of this site had a baby last year or so and didn't transmit to his partner. I imagine your OB would be pretty abreast of any changes in your blood work to know whether you have an impeding outbreak pre-labor. They'd put you on meds before you delivered to prevent transmission during labor.
Thank you. I have recently started on suppressive therapy of 800 g/gm of apo-aciclovir (or something like that) per day. Google can be your worst enemy sometimes and makes you think that you are contagious all the time. It is just the asymptomatic shedding that has me worried because I am aware of my triggers and outbreaks. I will see how it goes.

I want to hear success stories of not transmitting. I want to have a baby, so I plan on going condomless. Thoughts?

Lol, yes ma'am... I'm two months old on team HSV 2, 38, - TONS of loving ( and living) to do 😊.
I don't even know what it woulda been like 10 years ago for you..I'm sorry you didn't have the support you deserved at first, but got plenty now!
How do you manage to not pass it to your H- partner? Do you always use a condom? We want to have a baby but dont want to transmit it.

Yes, most men are not understanding. My "spouse" still does not think he has it after 20 years, even with the OBs on his genitals! Funny thing is that I found out that he is a serial cheater who can't keep an erection for too long with a condom on, so I can imagine how many women he has given it to.
I stayed with him out of fear that no one else would want me with this disease and he treated me like nothing. I am really glad you find someone who is so understanding and supportive.
