So, I recently posted about finding out I had herpes a few days ago after a horrific primary outbreak. The guy I've been dating just got his test results and he tested positive so that solves the mystery. He had no symptoms and had no clue. We are continuing to date each other and I'm a little confused about what precautions, if any, we should take with having sex given we are both H-positive. I want to avoid having another outbreak and he obviously wants to avoid ever having an outbreak. From what I gathered, you should abstain from having sex at the onset of and during an outbreak. But my question is...if he doesn't get outbreaks and I don't feel myself on the brink of one, is it fine to have unprotected sex? We both have it so does it even matter? Can sex itself trigger an outbreak? If he had it for awhile and never got an outbreak are chances high that he won't ever get one?
Thanks all.
