Depends if a person knows the ins and outs of herpes and accepts that they have it. Like understanding that shedding takes place with no visible sore and is contractable at that time.

Exactly, if infact you have hsv1 genital, the only way it can be spread is by sexual contact.

so you can live how you always used to especially if your asymptomatic and have no outbreaks and have a family and kids just your sex life is hindered and maybe your self esteem?

Hi you dont get herpes that way, genital is contracted by sex and oral by hard rubbing kisses on the lips.

i mean how do people with herpes live in a house surrounded by other people and not transmit it is it hard to do i could probably live and go on with my life but the thing that scares me is if one of my family members somehow catches it randomly somehow whilst living in the same house as me ?
