Help! need to know if there's any way to not transfer herpes to your partner?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Use of contraception such as a condom, as well as taking antiviral medications for viral suppression will help minimize risk of transmission to a sexual partner. Also not engaging in sexual activity during time of outbreak will decrease transfer greatly.
