A member asked:
Is it possible for me to pass hsv2 to my boyfriend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is usually transmitted between lovers. Use barrier protection at all times and talk with your personal physician how to become less infectious. Further, you must tell your boyfriend about your status -- if you care about him, I trust you'd do this in any case. A partner who wasn't warned and becomes infected can be very angry; someone who was warned usually will be understanding.
