I had an outbreak about a week ago, and it's the first time I talked to my bf about bc we are a new couple. He did not have an outbreak or anything so that's good...he was very shocked, and he's a foreigner and has not really heard of Herpes before...Now he is being silly and saying that he feels weird about even kissing me, because of course you can pass it with out having any symptoms etc...I have never had a cold sore in my life!! that's what's ridiculous. He says he is in shock and admits being very ignorant to the topic. I'm having a hard time explaining to him and he is such a numbers and detailed guy; what exactly his odds are of actually getting something from me etc. Does that make sense. I need some good sources or something about living with Herpes and the likelihood of my partner getting something...Help anyone??
Have him read this:
