How can you prevention?

Answer 1

There are a few rules to follow when it comes to helping prevent herpes.

1. Try not to have unprotected one night flings, you never know what a strange person could have, also they may not know if they have any thing.

2. If you want to get intimate with them then get to know your partners. Don't be afraid to talk about sex and sexual health. Always be honest with your partner.

3. If your partner happens to have herpes (and knows about it) never have intercourse or give them oral sex while they have any signs or symptoms of a break out. It's safer to have oral sex and intecourse when they don't have any signs of a break out.

4. Ask your partner if they are willing to start taking antiviral medication regularly. Doing this can help reduce your chances of getting herpes, even in between break outs.

5. If you're in a relationship with some one that has herpes then you should get your self tested regularly so you know your own status. You're not always doomed to get herpes, there is a chance that you may not get it.
