No, my late husband didn't die from herpes ... nor is it even possible. I have, however, heard of too many people that didn't feel like life was worth living if they had an STD and that's just crazy talk! Angela is right, condoms only reduce the risk to about 50% due to the area that they cover is not necessarily where the virus lives. I forget where but I did read at one time that Valtrex or it's generic yet equally effective counterpart, Acyclovir, when taken daily as a suppressant will reduce the risk of transmission to about 4%. Please do some research about the phenomenon called 'shedding'. You are not only contagious during an outbreak but more so when your body is shedding the virus and, unfortunately, it is impossible to know when that is happening. "Responsibility" (as you claim) is admirable! Thanks for taking the time to go the extra step to achieve it! Jennifer Hi, Julie!

I write and see if she will come and answer that question for you. As we all know, condoms do not cover the entire genital area. Condoms are also not without their flaws. So it's still possible to pass herpes even with condom use. That's why it's so important to talk to your partner(s) and make a date to go and get tested properly before you have sex.
