Male to female transmission rates GHSV-1
Hi there. If anybody out there has any useful or reliable information regarding transmission rates with unprotected oral sex as well as unprotected genital sex, please share your knowledge or experiences. Strictly asking about male to female transmission rates here.
Of course protection and antivirals significantly reduce the risk of transmission, however one day I can imagine that unprotected sex whether it is oral or genital is something that will inevitably happen. Engaging in oral sex with a condom makes little to no sense, and I am worried that those days may be over. Same with unprotected genital sex.
If you’re reading this then the chances are that you’re a guy dealing with GHSV-1, or you’re a girl who’s wondering what the risks are if you were to pursue a man with GHSV-1. I got my first outbreak a few months ago, and I’m still on the rollercoaster of depression and acceptance. I have turned away so many opportunities for intimacy because of the lack of knowledge I have about what I’m dealing with.
There are so many threads out there with information on female to male transmission rates, but after all this time I haven’t been able to find any with useful information regarding the male to female transmission rates for GHSV-1.
Any and all replies with useful information would be very appreciated. Thank you!
