A member asked:
Is it possible to be with somone who had herpes simplex 1 in their genitals and not get it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is not a certainty that a partner will spread this virus with a single contact. Over time, with the same affected partner, the chances of transmission will increase.
