No doubt, it will happen. I am very lucky.....I've only had to tell two people snd they both were om with it. I remember the first outbreak I had after dating my now husband......he said, can't we just cover it with a bandaid? Lol. I just recommend using a condom Everytime you have sex.....it has,worked just fine for us. I think the longer you have Herpies, the less often you shed.
