The first important step to lowering the chance of getting genital herpes is to educate yourself. If you understand how herpes is spread safe sex could happen.
The second step to lowering the chance of getting genital herpes is to use a condom. A condom should be used for oral, anal and vaginal sex. A condom is a protect barrier that lowers the chance of a partner coming in direct contact with herpes. A condom is highly effective. A condom may not cover 100% of the genital area. Herpes is almost always spread by direct skin contact.
The third thing you want to do is avoid sex with others who has an active herpes outbreak, a burning, itching or tingling feeling occur.
A burning, itching or tingling feeling could be a result of herpes surfacing the skin. If herpes is on the surface of the skin a partner is more likely to come in contact with the virus.
The fourth thing you want to do is ask your partner with herpes to take medicine as needed. Medicine like "valtrex" could reduce the chance of passing genital herpes to a partner by 50% or more.
The fifth thing you want to do is "your research". You want research from well known sources. There are misunderstanding and conflicting information about how herpes is spread.
If you want to know more, you may ask your doctor or counselor of Herpes Dating Sites like HerpesFish.com or PozGroup.com
