These are averages and come from research into couples who’ve been together for a while.
No antiviral, no condom – abou9t 10% per year
Antiviral, no condom, – about 5% per year
Antiviral, condoms – about 2% per year.
These are all averages – some studies show higher rates, some much lower.
If your partner contracts HSV 2, with her HSV 1 antibody, she may never had symptoms or her symptoms could be quite mild, correct.
