It's possible, but it's not a guarantee!
According to Valtrex, as much as 70% of people with genital herpes got it from their parter when they were showing no signs or symptoms of the virus (like an outbreak).
I personally contracted the virus 6+ years ago from a man who was showing no signs or symptoms of the virus. I also passed genital herpes to my fiance (boyfriend at the time). I hadn't had an outbreak for almost a year at that time and I still passed it to him!
So, even though it's possible to NOT spread it, it's also very possible TO spread it as well. Take care!

While it's possible not to pass the Herpes virus on while it is dormant in your body, there's still a possibility that you will.
Consider that each time you have an outbreak, the symptoms can be different, and in most cases they become much less severe. In many cases the sufferer isn't even aware of a second or subsequent outbreak as physical symptoms may be very subtle with little to no discomfort.
The fact that signs of the active virus can be hard to detect make this one of the most common sexually transmitted infections.
As well as the usual means of protection, Doctors can also subscribe antiviral therapy which can surpress the activity of the virus. If you can, find a doctor who you trust, and who you feel you can talk about Herpes. They will be able to offer you some expert advice and support about lessening the risk of passing the virus on.
Good luck!

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/HerpesTreatments2015gutk
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.

If it is dormant, it is not possible to pass it.
The problem is recognising it when it is active. For everyone that has herpes, there are times in between outbreaks when the virus is active without symptoms being present - it is known as 'asymptomatic shedding' of the virus becasue it is present on your skin without you having any symptoms.
So even though you think the virus is dormant becasue you have no symptoms, it may not be dormant at all.
Many, maybe 70%+ of herpes cases are caught when original infected partner has no symptoms. For example, if you have oral herpes, even if you have not had a cold sore for years, or are infected but have never had symptoms yourself, you can still transmit the virus to a partner.
I caught genital herpes through receiving oral sex from my boyfriend who gets cold sores. He had no symptoms whatsoever when it was transmitted to me.

I got diagnosed with genital herpes (type 2) about seven years ago, while I was still in college and had a silly one-night stand. I know loads of young ladies will say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl who has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/nZ8Hh everything improved.
Not only was I able to eradicate all remnants of the herpes simplex virus from my body in less than three weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This system gave me back the opportunity to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to enable you too by sharing this with the World.

Once you have the virus, you always have the virus. Also, there is always a chance you can pass it on to others, even if using a condom (in the case of genital herpes), and even if you are not in the midst of an outbreak. You can be 'shedding' the virus at any time, unbenownst to you.

It is possible not to pass it BUT most people infected became so when their sexual partner was not experiencing an outbreak. Seek medical help and use a condom!!!
