Hey all! So I'm looking for some practical daily advice here. My husband has HSV-1 breakouts on his lips, mine tend to be inside my mouth. He's great about keeping clean, not kissing when broken out, not sharing things etc, but I get a little paranoid during a breakout not wanting to get one myself. Any tips on around the house cleanliness to prevent dual breakouts? Also, how does everyone handle being broken out? For example, father's day is tomorrow and we want to visit my family. I'm working on not feeling weird about it but it's typically been a cause for cancellation (like, a very gnarly breakout). Do I need to change my attitude or do most people chill at home until the breakout passes? Plus with things like work you basically can't hide away all the time anyways. I'm hoping to learn to let go of some of the shame/stagma of being broken out but just curious how others handle it. Thanks in advance :)
