For those of you who are in relationship/dating/married with a genital herpes carrier and still clean, what are the precautions you and your partner take? (condom? oral sex? medication? kissing? outbreak? cuddling?) Are you still able to have fulfilling sex life? And how long have you been in this relationship?

I have a friend, whose partner has genital herpes & unfortunately she has it now too. They tried to be careful but they're very sexually active. She says the out breaks aren't bad & she still loves him & they are getting married next weekend. They've been together 5 years.
I get herpes simplex 1 (on my mouth). I've had it for 20 years & I've never passed it on. The thing is you have to be aware when the outbreak starts to happen, it's the same for genital herpes...it is usually preceded by a tingling sensation...

My best friend has herpes and her partner does not. This is a very new relationship. She was up front and honest with him from the beginning and he told her it was OK that they would work through this together. They read information from the Internet to become better informed and they use precautions and a sensible head. They went to the doctor together so that he could ask questions to make sure this is what he wants. Again, he told her in front of the doctor that he was fine with the situation. He was tested and it came back negative. She makes sure she takes her medicine and as soon as she knows she is having an outbreak they stop having sex. Now that does not mean they are not intimate it just means they do a whole lot of hugging and holding. And yes cuddling is allowed and greatly appreciated. Just make sure the two of you are not reckless and use your common sense.

I got clinically diagnosed with genital herpes (type 2) about seven yrs ago, when I was still in college and had a mindless one-night stand. I understand a lot of girls will say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl that has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/Qu5eu everything changed.
Not only was I able to remove all remnants of the herpes virus from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just last week, in front of everybody in a crowded cafe, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This method gave me back the chance to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to enable you too by sharing this with the World.

I have HSV type 1 but I have yet to put myself in that position. So far I have only dated others with the herpes virus. However I know of a few that are dating non-herpes partners and have calmly explained and educated them about the situation, used condoms, taken preventative medication and refrained from sex altogether during an outbreak.
Hope it helps.

There are things you can do to protect yourself.There are many antiviral nutritional suppliments.Aloe vera is an antiviral,antifungal,antibacterial,and stimulates cell regeneration.Black walnut is good for herpes infection.Licorice root fights viral,bacterial,and parasitic infection.Should not be used more than 7 days in a row,as it can result in high blood pressure.Vira Stop is a good anti-viral.L-lysine together with vit. C with bioflavonoids,can effectively fight and or prevent herpes outbreaks,especially if foods containing the amino acid L-arginine are avoided.Two much of the amino acid L-arginine can cause outbreaks of herpes.Foods high in arginine,include carob,chocolate,dairy products,gelatin,meat,oats,peanuts,soybeans,walnuts,white flour,wheat,and wheat germ. This info ,taken from the book Perscription For Nutritional Healing.

my boyfriends cousin has herpes... I asked him how it affects his dating life. he is a nice guy and I would hate to think that a person would not want to talk to him because of that. he says he is on valtrex and he always uses condoms, vaginal sex and oral sex. he always tells potiential partners. sometimes he says he gets his feelings hurt but it comes with the territory. his current partner doesnt have herpes. they have been together for awhile. whatever you decide to do just know that there is always going to a risk. condoms and valtrex help but nothing is 100% except abstinence. good luck

I can't say that I've been with a partner that has that. I'd be too afraid. Not knocking you or anything but that's just not something I would want to take a chance contracting.
