One of the most common ways to reduce chances of spreading the virus is to be abstain from genital sex during an outbreak of HSV-2, and to abstain from kissing and oral sex during an outbreak of HSV-1.
This simple effort can drastically reduce chances of infection.
The Simple Steps
In fact, a woman with HSV-2 who abstains from sex during outbreaks has only a 3% chance of transmitting the virus to her partner during a whole year.
In the reverse case, of a man with HSV-2 who abstains from sex during outbreaks, he has only an 8% chance of transmitting the virus to his partner during a whole year.
These figures are without the use of condoms or other suppressive drugs, and with the right use of these tools, the chances can be dropped a full 40% or more.
Taking Responsibility
However, even people who try to be responsible can still suffer from lack of information, if they make an effort by telling all of their partners that they have the virus, abstaining from contact during outbreaks, and using other protective measures like condoms and suppressive therapy.
The fight to control herpes infection, whether cold sores or genital herpes, requires extra information and learning on both partner’s parts.
It also requires letting go of one’s sense of shame, and finding acceptance in one’s partner. Many people with herpes, especially those with cold sores, have had the virus since they were children.
Herbs and Supplements
Some new research has found that several herbs can help reduce or prevent outbreaks, which greatly lessens the impact of herpes on a person’s life, and also reduces the chance of transmission.
Andrographis (Andrographis paniculata) is a “bitter herb” from Asia that’s known for strengthening the immune system and fighting viral infection.
This herb is not just recognized in folklore, though. Scientists actually believe that Angrographis may hold the key to new treatments for HIV/AIDS.
The effect of the herb is amplified by other immune stimulators, such as Echinacea, zinc, and vitamin C.
Olive leaf (Olea europea) is another herb that’s gaining a reputation for effectively managing HSV. The extract of this leaf is actually shown to reduce viral shedding, which is the cause of the rare-but-possible case of transmission of HSV in the absence of an outbreak.
Conclusion
HSV is not only manageable, but it also doesn’t have to control your life. Normal intimacy is possible, and sometimes can even be made stronger through the effort to manage HSV. And no, you don’t have to infect your partner. Many couples have been together for years without transmitting HSV to the other partner.
