I have HSV 2. Thank you for all of the information!

Hello! I was diagnosed yesterday after struggling with my first outbreak out of state at a work conference. My significant other has tested negative but is showing symptoms similar to what I had. I just want to know the ins and outs of what living with this diagnosis is. When is it safe to have sex, what do we need to do to be safe? What are some pro tips and tricks for living with this as smoothly as possible. Is suppressive therapy the best course of treatment or just take the antiviral med when I notice the onset of an outbreak? All of the help is much appreciated! It’s been a whirlwind of emotions in the past 24 hours, but I am trying to be as positive as possible.
