Since we cannot know if your infection is oral or genital, I cannot offer precautions. But taking antiviral medication daily will likely reduce the risk significantly of transmission to a partner. But remember that about half the population in the US has HSV 1 infection already, so the odds are high that your next partner may also have HSV 1 infection.
