A member asked:
My first and only genital herpes break out was over five years ago. is it safe to be sexually active without passing it to my partner w/o protection?

Herpes: You are most likely not very contagious. But the newest information about herpes is that you can still shed virus and be contagious at times that are impossible to predict even when you have no sores. All sexually active adults should know their herpes status since 90% of those with herpes do not have sores or outbreaks.
