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!

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 🙂
