Hi,

I have come back because I disclosed to someone and the main question they had was about unprotected sex.

Obviously there is always a risk condom or not. However, I know that as a woman it is harder for me to transmit it to a man because of my anatomy.

I would love to be able to feel some what normal again being able to be in a relationship and taking the next steps to having unprotected sex and then a family down the line but I’m scared.

I realized that I feel like a walking virus and even if they knew I had it and agreed I would be devastated. Because if that I want to do all I can to keep my partner and possible future partners safe without freaking them out.

Would you say that it was worth the risk?
And should I just make sure I am not having an outbreak or any prodrome symptoms as well as taking my antivirals and multivitamins?

Thanks again for your help. You’ve really helped me navigate this diagnosis so far.
