How can i have a normal sex life with nonisolated herpes type 1?

Yes: Most adults are already positive for herpes type 1. If you need to be sure, your partner can get a blood test. What is "nonisolated"?

Genital Herpes: Suppressive therapy with antiviral medication isn't 100 percent effective at eliminating asymptomatic shedding, particularly for people with frequent outbreaks, and it is no substitute for condom use. However, using drugs and safe sex together may be the best way to protect your partner from your genital herpes infection.
