There are a number of things that we can do to reduce the risk of transmission to our partners, and by using these practices, many people have been successful in NOT spreading herpes to their partner(s). Some people who have HSV2 have NEVER spread it to a partner. However, there are no guarantees. Everyone has a different situation. And your PARTNER’S health and immune system is also a factor. But if you use some or all of these practices, your risk of transmitting the virus to your partner(s) might be much lower.
