Partner With Genital Herpes

My friend recently met a girl he likes- but she was infected with genital herpes over 10 years ago. She has an outbreak about once a year and says they are much milder than they have been in years past. She’s been on a daily dose of Valtrex for years. My question is, have any of you had a partner with herpes and not become infected? My understanding is that many who have healthy immune systems will not contract the virus when exposed.

Oh and its a ‘‘Friend’’ is it?

My friend is called Nards.

To answer you question: Yes it is possible to not get infected from this girl. Just avoid sex during breakouts and use a condom. This is not a 100% guarantee that your “friend” will not catch it, though, so you have to ask your self one question: Do you feel lucky?

Actually, IIRC it is not about “not having the virus”

Its more about not developing it, everyone has at least one of the 9 types of herpes.

He will get better odds in Vegas, Reno, Atlantic City…or Jimmy Cerillo’s Gambling and Pasta house in Flushing Queens NY…ask for Luba at the door (russian lady will hook you up)

To add to this, the few days right before an outbreak are just as contagious as when she has open lesions. So, an even bigger roll of the dice, because who knows when that is gonna happen.

Are they seeking children? If not, condoms.

If so, the good 'Ole Thanksgiving turkey baster can be a great improvisation tool.

Or for a challenge could try and play some ‘catch’. Ya feel me?

Good read, thank you.

Looks like creatine supplementation may be beneficial. Does supplemental creatine prevent herpes recurrences? - PubMed
