Spreading genital herpes to your partner is one of the worst things that can happen in a relationship. Some research seems to suggest that women are four times more likely to get herpes from male partners than the other way round. The reason for this is that in vaginal and anal sex, the woman is the receiving partner, while the man is the inserting partner. There are therefore more parts of the female body exposed to male genital skin.
Whether you're a man or woman with genital herpes, certain precautions should be taken so that spreading genital herpes is avoided. What complicates matters, however, is that some people don't exhibit herpes symptoms and remain unaware that they have the disease. That is why it is important to get tested for STDs if you have even the slightest suspicion that you may have been infected. It's a fact that 80 percent of people infected with herpes are not aware of it.
Having genital herpes need not put an end to your sex life. Using latex condoms and taking suppressive therapy such as Valtrex (Valacyclovir) and Zovirax (Acyclovir) may be the only ways in which you can prevent transmitting herpes. They are not totally fool-proof, but if used sensibly, they can spare your partner from contracting the virus.
Getting or transmitting the genital herpes virus when there are no visible symptoms accounts for about 70 percent of all instances of herpes transmission. However someone who never has symptoms is 50% less likely to transmit herpes than someone who experiences active herpes episodes. Three anti-herpes drugs help make symptoms, such as lesions and itching, go away faster, reducing your chances of spreading genital herpes. However, they often come with side-effects. I use an all natural program instead. It has helped me remain outbreak free for almost seven years now. It uses a blend of natural plant extract, homeopathy, subtle diet changes and supplementation. It has worked wonders for me. It is also much cheaper than any form of medication and I'm sure I'm far less likely to transmit herpes without experiencing any herpes symptoms.
One step toward preventing spreading genital herpes is to ascertain for sure whether you have it or not and if you do, which type of herpes you have by undergoing a blood test.
The second most important step is to tell your partner that you are infected. That way, both of you can work toward maintaining a healthy sex life without transmitting genital herpes. This has been scientifically proven to reduce transmission risks.
I have found that the most important way to ensure that spreading genital herpes does not happen is to identify herpes symptoms before they get to their most active and contagious stage. Even better, with a little practice you will soon be able to know when you are likely to have symptoms with remarkable accuracy even before the slightest sign of a herpes infection. I believe that combining all of the above strategies will help you cut transmission risk by at least 80%. Actually, I believe it is possible to eliminate up to 96% of herpes transmission risks with the right protocol.
