:I am 20 and found out about a month ago that I have herpies. It has changed my sex life quite a bit, but I am still unsure about the posibilities of contraception on my partners' behalf. If he gives me oral sex when I am not having an outbreak, can he get it? Can he get it by touching me and then touching himself? Also, can condoms prevent him from contracting the virus?
I have found a positive side to it all though. I know who is really dating me for me... and its a great tool to scare away those people you just don't want around. =) Herpies is bad, but there are good sides to it too.
I would love some tips on how to control it. Thanks,
