I am considering a relationship with someone that had type 1 herpes, he has never once had an outbreak. i was wondering if he can pass it to me through sex/penetration even if involves nothing oral? even without a condom?

The HERPES virus still remains active in the body even if no outbreak is present. Using a condom is a must, but the virus still lives outside the condom. Never any sex with an outbreak, and infected person should be on anti- viral medication. Don't take chances, your too young. Remember HERPES is forever.
