You need to test one more time as still false into the false positive range. Have the Western Blot test as theres a good chance your negative.

Yes that would make it no risk. Also tell us about the test you had and the numbers involved as maybe a false positive since youve never had any outbreaks.

The area at the base of your penis. And if you dont shave, the hair would also act as a barrier preventing the virus from entering a nerve.

Hi, taking antivirals and not having any genital sores at the time, the risk of passing it would be quite low but still possible through shedding. If you use the condom and not make any pubic mound contact, there would not be any risk.
