      7 years Ghsv1. One initial outbreak. None since. Does everyone shed?

      we know that virtually everyone with HSV 2 sheds at some point, we don’t know that about HSV 1. i suspect not everyone does.

      Thanks for your response. The exact unknown probably creates unwarranted concerns but…the exact unknown will do that.

      I suppose that’s true.
      We do know that on average, once a person has had HSV 1 genital infection for two years,they shed on about 4 days out of the year.
