"Maybe add that you do safe sex to your profile text xxxxx" Agree with this. OP, when the virus is dormant you're right that you can't pass it on. However when the virus is active you may not have the symptoms but still can pass it on during that time. As you know yoi have it safe sex should be a requirement rather than just an interest.

"You and your partners could use PrEP (truvada) which can reduce HSV transmission by a third. Are you talking about HIV? " Prep is given out for HIV But it's also know to protect against herpes too however prep is a nasty drug and the long term effects are unknown as it's still in trial stages. Also you would have to fund it yourself as it's only available on the NHS for high risk groups that could catch HIV it won't be licensed for herpes as much so for the cost factor. Good news is potential hsv vaccines are being trialled as are chamidia vaccines | |||

You can get it free via a trial in the England, if not you can pay £30 a month private. It does work and recommended for high risk groups. I know someone who came off it due to bloating. | |||

" What part of what I wrote do you believe isn't correct? They don't know the long term affects of PrEP which is why people using prep are recommended 3 monthly testing not only for other sexual infections but to check liver and kidney health. Also it effects bone density. it's better for you than HIV hence being given for HIV but as hsv flare ups can be treated with other viral drugs that are cheaper and there is a potential vaccine being produced they will never licence PrEP to be used for HSV. | |||

"..... however prep is a nasty drug and the long term effects are unknown as it's still in trial stages. " Extracts from the Wikipedia article about Truvada: Emtricitabine/tenofovir, sold under the brand name Truvada among others, was approved for medical use in the United States in 2004. It is on the World Health Organisation’s List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system. Common side effects include headache, feeling tired, trouble sleeping, abdominal pain, weight loss, and rash. Serious side effects may include high blood lactate levels and enlargement of the liver. Use during pregnancy does not appear to harm the baby, but such use has not been well studied. In the US it has been approved for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) against HIV infection. The Food and Drug Administration approved it for preventive use on July 16, 2012. | |||

"96% of people have genital herpes and asymptomatic. " When they don't have an active flare yes. Dormant phases have no symptoms. When you have a flare up, you usually have some indication that something is going on. You can get the cold sore type tingle at the very least, even if you don't get lesions. Secondary outbreaks tend to be less severe and not as obvious as the primary. | |||

Alternative health sources say the opposite, or that it's not quite so concrete. It seems to be the most random of sti's. The sandyford don't test for it as its so common. | |||

" Most clinics don't test unless there's actual external indications in which they would scrape. Also blood tests available to test for antibodies. Just not cost effective Hsv1 is commonly caught as a child. Hvs1 has been found to be sti quite commonly also due to someone giving oral sex with a coldsore. Hsv2 found on the mouth for same reasons, oral sex. There's many people infected and don't actually understand what a cold sore is they've had it most their life. Hsv is life threatening to newborns and infants which is a huge reason to not be kissing babies no matter how much you want to. Few years ago grandmother kissed her newborn grandchild sadly the coldsore claimed a life. Accidentally and all due to the fact people don't really understand it. All about not sharing cutlery and facial cloths, obviously not sharing toothbrushes etc especially during a flare up. From everything I know stress and anxiety cause outbreaks. Decline in physical health can trigger outbreak. Hsv has many types viruses in that umbrella tag. No one knows why some people are immune either. Some we've all been infected with at a very young age providing antibodies covering all the hsv where as some don't. | |||
