I contracted herpes about 4-5 years ago, and since then have only experienced 3 other 'breakouts'. I'm always careful not to expose my boyfriend to it when I have blisters, however, when I'm asymptomatic, I enjoy having sex with him - unprotected (don't fret, we've both been tested for HIV etc...). I've been informed by doctors that it is highly unlikely he'll catch it when I don't have blisters, however, part of me is always worried that he could.
I haven't told him about it because I felt it unnecessary seeing as it hardly ever affects me. But now I'm starting to think he ought to know...
What should I do? I don't want to lose him, but I don't want to lie to him either. I understand that herpes is serious because you can't cure it, but I hardly ever suffer with it and it's not exactly life threatening.
What should I do?
