Can u please clarify for me the response

If I have oral hsv1 and ghsv1 established and my partner has oral hsv1 established then when I perform oral sex on him or have genital sex with him, you don’t recommend any other precautions besides avoiding sex durin outbreaks to reduce transmission to his genitals. That is you don’t recommend antivirals or condoms to avoid him getting it on his genitals.

Is that correct?

So throwing another scenario, if I know my partner has oral hsv1, then do I have to disclose I have ghsv1 if I so confirm I have it there thru the pcr swabs. Or is it sufficient to say I have hsv1.

I don’t want to alarm partners unnecessarily. I do not get classic lesions. Please provide me with hour opinion.

I am newly divorced and finding it difficult to disclose ghsv1 but will not expose a hsv negative partner as I feel it’s not ethical for him to not know risk. But what if we do blood tests and it both shows hsv1, do I have to go into the story about ghsv1 when transmission risk is next to impossible (or is it?)?

Thank you again.

I have a call with Lisa tallbee Monday.
