If a person has sexual intercourse with another person who has genital herpes if there is always a chance that the virus is spreading, even if condoms are used.

Condoms help prevent the spread of the virus, antiviral medication, and not have sex or do anything sexual while the person is on an outbreak can help prevent the spread of the virus, but nothing is really 100% effective except abstinence.

Vaginal intercourse and receiving oral sex can increase a woman's risk of infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Basically, it can be passed through, but not the genitals.

HSV-1 and another herpes virus - herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) - is genital herpes.

Although I have no doubt that your partner may have transmitted the virus HSV-1 for you, should have come into contact with HSV-2 to be infected with genital herpes.

Do not believe me, it's eyes.
