HSV1 Genital Transmission
by heather2000, May 01, 2009 08:24AM
I am a female, 35 and was diagnosed with Genital HSV1 in March of 2007 after acquiring it from oral sex that was performed on me. Diagnosis was confirmed by a swab my doctor took and tested. Was negative for HSV2. I had my initial outbreak which was pretty severe but have never had an outbreak since that time. I am seeing someone new and we have engaged in very moderate sexual contact at this point. However, I am interested in going to the next level with him. My question is do you feel that after 2 years without no additional outbreaks I should inform him of my prior infection? I know you say the likelyhood of transmission genial to genital is rare but can you elaborate? Should I use a condom to be safe? Just looking for some guidance and suggestion. I don't want him to freak out and run for the door if I tell him this at this point in the relationship.
Thank you so much.
