A member asked:
How do you avoid both herpes 1 and herpes 2, after you start dating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No intimate contact: The only way to avoid it is to verify the person you are dating is not infected. Don't share drinks or silverware and don't kiss and always use condoms if you are not sure of the person's herpes status.
