There is no 100 percent way to avoid getting HSV2 but there are some precautions you can take to help prevent getting it.

Your partner should be honest with you to let you know that they have it and they can also tell you if they are getting a break out so you can avoid having intercourse.

NEVER have intercourse while a break out is in progress or healing, wait until it's completely gone before you resume having intercourse or giving oral sex.

Your partne should be willing to take suppressants or antiviral medication to help make them less likely to pass herpes on to you.

Condoms can be used in between break outs.

Even if you do every thing right there is still a small chance that you could get herpes, f it's too much risk for you then you may want to avoid having an intimate relationship with some one that has herpes.
