Question:
here is my question...If i were to marry a woman who did not have hsv, would I have to give her the disease in order to have children? This is my biggest fear, the fear of not being able to marry or have a child with my future wife due to hsv2.

are there ways around having a child with a woman, and not spreading the virus to her?

please help

Answer:
Hi,

Some people never gave the virus to their partners, even though they've been having sex without any protection.
So it's possible that you have kids and your partner doesn't get infected.

But, if you throw condoms away, possibility of transmitting increases. If you and your partner want to have kids, both of you should be ready for the risk. Even with using condom, there is a possibility of transmitting it, so when you have sex with someone, you both should be ready for the risk anyway...

But... I still think that herpes is trivial compared to "a person". I don't think herpes can get in the way, when two people love and care about each other. There are so many couples that only one of them has herpes. Some gave herpes to their partner as a result, but I've never heard that a couple broke up because of that once gave herpes to the other. I've seen many of them still happily together.

If you are happy about your life including having herpes, everything will be fine...

Best wishes..

Faith
