Thank you so much! It's good to get some clarification as knowledge is power. It's nice to know I'm not alone as sometimes I feel like I'm keeping a big secret from everyone and feel so isolated. I think the hardest part will be having the conversation with a potential partner for the first time and being prepared to be rejected. Thanks again for you help 🙂

Hi everyone. I was diagnosed today with genital HSV after a swab test. Very disappointed in myself as it was one time with a new casual partner and now I've got it forever 😞 Apologies if this has already been covered somewhere but I just wanted to clarify as I've received different information, can you still transmit to someone else even when there are no sores? My GP seemed to think I couldn't but I've read that you're still infectious with no symptoms. Does anyone know the chances of transmitting between outbreaks whilst using contraception and taking antiviral medication? Thanks in advance!
