When did you have your latest blood test for HSV?
Actually i just got an updated test of my hsv last week. Doc says its ok should be a lower count than 4 yrs ago but i have not collected my results yet
That's great, the answer to your questions depends so much on the HSV type you have. Have you ever had an IgG test before? What were the results?
Mine is hsv type 2. For genital herpes in the scenario that i describe what are the risks of transmission?
That's what I am getting at, how was it confirmed that you have HSV2?
Just gotten back results again hsv 2 igg >3.5

The chances of infection with no protection or antivirals are about 8% for a full year of sex, say 100 episodes.
Condoms are not too bad, maybe 30-50% cut back on these transmission chances.
Antivirals will cut the odds 50-70%.
Hence with condoms and antivirals, you can be looking at a 2% chance over 100 episodes of sex.
So for a first time wouldn't be that easy to get right? Im just worried as i just shaved that day and a little bit of cut and the condom did not cover all too
