I just found out that both me and my husband have genital herpes. What precautions should we take sexualy?

Question:

Is there a possibality of worsening the situation by continuing to have unprotected sex?

Answers:
genital herpes means that u have got it from having sex; u or ur partner with other partners either before or after marriage. (med student); what u can do is first of all get it treated ; go to the doctor both of u; bc if not treated will develop systemic herpes and cause further complications; other than that make sure u dont have sexually contacts with other partners;
dont panic its not that a big of a deal and happens to millions of people
all i want is to be voted as the best answer ONCE

Apparently it's too late for that.

which one of you cheated to give it to the other.that's what I want to know

Well you should both go on proventitive therapy using Valtrex, so you can prevent most if not all future outbreaks and lead a normal life. To the extent that you get an outbreak, refrain from sex during the outbreak becasue you can still provoke an outbreak in the other partner when you are having one, in spite of the fact that they are already exposed and have antibodies in their blood.

3- year ago i found out i had genital herpes,but what gets me is the' breakouts" there no signs i mean below .how i know i feel as it am coming down with the flu. as for your question i can't really answer.I will be using protection.

The only thing that i would say is keep taking your valtrex and it shouldn't affect your sex life. Just remember that if you are not a hand washer, become one because you can infect your children or any one you touch after going to the bathroom while having an outbreak. You can also have an outbreak and not even know it, so be careful. My advice is that you shouldn't be ashamed of having this disease. More people have it than you may realize but just won't tell it.

You can't make it any worse and you really don't need to take any precautions. Once you have it you will always have it, so you don't need to worry about reinfecting each other or making it worse.
