Question:
Should I really be worried about passing the virus on to someone else if I haven't had an OB in years and may be one of those few individuals that never have an OB again?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but after an outbreak, the virus lies dorment in the base of the spin. Right? If I never have an OB again, that means that the virus is permanently dormant.

If the virus is dorment, how is it possible pass it on?

I've read so much about shedding the virus, but I'm having a hard time understanding/believeing that you can pass the virus on if it's not even present in your penis....... it's dorment in your spin.

You understand what I'm asking?

Answer:
It quite obvious that you're in a place a handfull of us visit every once and a while. If I'm not having OBs then why should I worry about it anymore? This doesn't have anything to do with recently meeting someone whom you'd like to become intimate with does it? I only ask, as usually when any of us visit this frame of mind it's because we'd like to avoid sharing our little secret, and the possible rejection which might follow. Unfortunately that part of this little demon never really gets easier.

To answer your question. Yes you need to be concerned about passing it onto someone else any time you choose to become intimate. You may haven't had an OB in a long time, and you may never have one again, but the shitty thing that gets us all is that shedding. Which sadly you just can't check, or be sure of. HSV 101 - it is possible to pass it when you are not showing symptoms. There is no guaranteed way to know that it's dormant in your system and it will be forever.

If you're lucky, you'll never see it again. That doesn't mean you don't have a responsibility to the truth, a responsibility to share that truth with your partner, and the responsibility to educate them so that they're not afraid (Cause there really is nothing to be afraid of). You just to have faith in them to make the choice that's right for them, and if it's meant to be then that choice will work out best for you as well.

Answer:
I am not exactly sure how much truth there is to this but its worth a try. It does make sense to me. I got the Never an outbreak book and it said that if you spray hydrogen peroxide on your genitals and you are shedding, meaning the virus is on the skin, your skin will turn white. Just like when you put hydrogen perioxide on a sore it detects it by turning white and kills infection, whether it be virial or bacterial. The book recommendeds spraying before sex and after. I recommend researching the effects oxygen has on this virus. It can actually kill it. But only by certains means can you get oxygen to the cells to kill it like hyperbaric chamber or intravenous oxygen therapy. This virus can come to the surface without symptoms every few days or a few days out of the year. Everyone is different, but we are all at times contagious. You are just one of the few that don't suffer physically from this with symptoms. The reason this virus is spread so much like it is is because people don't know they have it and they don't have safe sex. Then they give it to someone else who also doesn't know they have it and the cycle continues. I personally have never had an outbreak or sore. I was infected 4 weeks ago and had tingling and fever but immediatley started suppliments and changed my diet and symptoms subsided. But I know I have it and even if I never have an outbreak I would be doing an injustice to any future partners by not telling them that I do in fact have it. A test in a few months will confirm my self diagnosis.
