Question:
I just have a quick question. I did all my research about the subject and basically any information i could get my hands on. Im interested in dating someone who has GH.

Now i know i wouldn;t be marrying this person. But im curious about the relative risk of having sex with this person. She is on Valtrex, and if condoms are used during times of no outbreaks, what is the relative risk of me contracting the disease if the above methods were used?

also whats the risk for contracting GH orally if i perform oral sex on a person who isn;t showing any symptoms?

Answer:
But im curious about the relative risk of having sex with this person. She is on Valtrex, and if condoms are used during times of no outbreaks, what is the relative risk of me contracting the disease if the above methods were used? Someone has told me that by "avoiding having sex during outbreaks + your partner taking Valtrex + using condom", your chance of contracting herpes each year is about 1%.

also whats the risk for contracting GH orally if i perform oral sex on a person who isn;t showing any symptoms? I've heard that it's rare to get HSV-2 orally, but there still is the risk. I don't know the probability (number) though......

Take care..
