ghsv1 and condom use

the chances of passing on ghsv1 genitally are low already. Seems that with consistent condom use I feel there is definitely not much at all to worry about? My doc said risk is pretty darn close to zero.

hsv1 genitally doesn't shed very often in general.

you really have to know your partners status in order to make educated decisions about what precautions to take and ***** their risk.  keep in mind it's as much about protecting you as protecting a partner!!
