A member asked:
Since my boyfriend has herpes simplex, will i get it too just by contact?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Precautions: There's no time to be guaranteed that he can't pass it to you but, he can reduce the chances bu taking virus-suppressing medication and you two should avoid sexual contact when he knows that he's having an outbreak. Talk to your pcps for more specific ideas.
