your partner can only become affected when the affected person has an outbreak! if you have herpes and your partner doesn't you should use protection! also your partner should get tested!
can my partner of 7 months get herpes if i have no present out break since? . i was diagnosed with genital herpes in 2003 and had only one visible outbreak since then i have never seen any visible outbreaks or any signs of it. my partner of 7 months would get it if i never had no outbreaks but had unprotected sex?
