Hi Terri!
I have a question. I acquired GHSV1 about 10-11 years ago. I’ve only had two outbreaks. My first primary outbreak and then a second outbreak triggered by sex, 5-6 years later from my first outbreak. It’s been 4 years since my last outbreak and given that I’ve had this virus for about 10-11 years with two outbreaks what is my risk of transmission genitally to genitally? I’ve taken NO antivirals over the last 10 years.
I’ve given birth, had a 104 degree fever with Covid, been highly stress multiple times, and I didn’t have any reoccurrences during this time. What is the likelihood of having another outbreak after only having two in the last 10-11 years? Also, does shedding go down after 10 years? Is it possible to never have another outbreak again?

the likelihood of you transmitted HSV 1 through intercourse is incredibly low. Research suggests that after 2 years of being infected, people shed virus about 4 days out of a year. Since you’ve been infected that long, your risk is probably even lower.
