I was just recently diagnosed so I'm trying to gather information and learn how to live my life with herpes. So there's a few things I'm confused about. First of all neither my partner nor I have a penis and I just keep seeing "use a condom!" As the main way to protect your partner apart from valtrex which I will be taking daily. So what can I do? Is it safe for him to touch me? The nurse I asked this question to told me just dont have any sexual contact at all while you have an OB but otherwise disclose and you're fine, is it really that simple? And what about oral sex, am I okay to give? I have never had an OB in my mouth even though it is hsv 1. Am I ok to receive? Is genital-to-genital contact now out of the question since condoms aren't an option? The nurse I talked to wasn't very informative and made it seem like it was no big deal at all.
