Diagnosed with genital hsv-1. how exactly am i different to the general population with unknown asymptomatic hsv when i have no outbreaks? are they latent and am i active but asymptomatic? both of us can transmit though so what's the difference?

Genital HSV-1 is uncommon but if you are asymptomatic and if your partner is also a carrier which is very common, there is nothing to concern.
