Yes there is medication to control the condition - notably Valtrex. But, unfortunately, while taking it regularly (every day) DOES reduce the risk of transmission, it does not eliminate it entirely.

From what I gather, the general consensus seems to be that if 100 couples have sex at an average rate for a year, avoiding intercourse during and around outbreaks, and using condoms, then around 4 of those will end up transmitting the virus in that time. Whereas if, in addition to avoiding outbreaks and using condoms, the infected partner is on Valtrex, around 2 couples will.

Unfortunately, many people with the condition don't avoid sex when they sense an outbreak is coming (or fail to recognise it as an outbreak), and fail to use condoms and take Valtrex. That's why so many sites like www.genital-herpes-corner.com are around.

NO! Herpes is ALWAYS contagious, even if you're not having an outbreak at the time!

However, there are some medications that reduce the likelihood of transmission to a partner.

If you are concerned about getting or giving the herpes virus then use a condom and make sure to NEVER have sexual contact during an obvious outbreak. Also, keep in mind that a condom only protects those areas that it COVERS. If there are herpes sores on areas of the penis or scrotum that are not covered by the condom or on the vulva of the female, then herpes (and other STDs) CAN still be transmitted.

Be safe!

I got clinically diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about six years ago, when I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this video everything changed https://tr.im/HERPEStreatments2o15dzXX

Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the hsv from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the man of my dreams. This method provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to enable you too by sharing this with the whole World.

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.
Luckly there is a cure for herpes https://tr.im/d316d

Cold sores are caused by the herpes virus. Many of us already have the cold sore virus dormant in our bodies, and never have a flare up of cold sores. We contracted it as children, as it is a very common virus, and children pick it up easily as they often share food and drinks, and may be less concerned about hand washing and hygiene. Cold sores can be transmitted even when the person does not have a cold sore, though it is less likely to happen then.

remember that you can remove genital warts by surgery, freezing, laser, acid or cream but genital warts can reappear again and again because genital warts appears when your immune system is weak!

I got diagnosed with herpes type 2 about seven years ago, when I was still in college and had a stupid one-night stand. However, Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again!
