1. If it were Hsv2 – would you recommend disclosure at every encounter? If so, why? I’m assuming because the risk is substantially higher right?
Yes, i would recommend disclosure with sexual encounters.
2. Would you recommend disclosure for oral sex still?
for you giving oral sex or receiving it? Probably neither is required
3. I read that you said g-to-g hsv1 tranmission hasn’t happened under your watch, but it’s in the literature. In the literature, did those examples all have oral sex that preceded it? Even weeks before because it could take that long to show up?
I don’t have that background information.
4. Shedding does not always ensure transmission correct? There needs to be a certain viral amount?
That correct, modeling shows it needs to be about 10 to the third numbers of copies for transmission to occur. But the thing is, you’ll never know the number of copies you are shedding so this is interesting but not particularly relevant.
