If i have herpes and no outbreak can i have sex without a condom?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genital Herpes & Sex: If you have HSV2, you can take valacyclovir daily to reduce the risk of transmission to your partner. Even if your partner wears a condom, you can still transmit the HSV2 virus to him at the area where the condom ends. Valacyclovir suppressive therapy reduces transmission around 50%. http://www.cdc.gov/std/herpes/stdfact-herpes-detailed.htm
