can a girl give a boy genital herpes without ever having an outbreak?
The chances are good enough to not do it.Yes she can. Transmission still can occur without the person showing any symptoms. They shed the virus.
The chances are like 50/50 depending on the other person (receiving). He/she can have a previous infection that will provide some defense to a 2nd infection (outbreak).Technically, outbreak is what transfers, but also, technically you can't always tell when theres an outbreak. To be safe, don't have any sexual contact, either oral or genital. The virus particles collect in the "outbreak" vesicles or bumps, and this contact can pass the infection, but it is still possible for virus particles to be transfered if lets say theres a skin cut etc.

Herpes: What you should know

We have spent a great amount of time on herpes. Here are the key points we covered.
Oral herpes and genital herpes can be spread sexually.
Approximately one in five adults has genital herpes.
Up to 90 percent of persons infected are UNAWARE that they have herpes!
Many who have herpes have no symptoms.
Symptoms can vary from a mildly irritating and/or itchy area to painful blisters.
Always insist that you and any new partner screen for STDs prior to having sex.
Cultures of material taken from herpes sores have a small window of time in which they will be accurate for herpes.
Blood tests should be done three to four months after a suspected exposure to herpes.
The number of outbreaks a person may have is variable.
You can shed the herpes virus even when you don't have symptoms.
If you are sexually active, you should use a suppressive therapy prescribed by your provider.
Over the counter medications do not protect your partner.
Special precautions need to be taken during pregnancy.
Always inform any new dating partner before you have sex that you have herpes.
Hopefully, in one year, there will be a generic once a day dose for suppression.
A vaccine is being tested. It will not protect persons already infected.
The points listed above are discussed in detail in prior blog entries I have made. Please read those entries for more detailed information or go to the resources I listed in the entry entitled "Talking to Your Partner."
Terri Warren, a nurse practitioner from Portland, Oregon, and Zane Brown, a physician from Seattle, Washington, are both doing excellent research on the topic of herpes. These are authors that you can trust.
Take good care of yourself and the people you care about! Once again, strive to be your best self: A fair, honest, and loving person, who happens to have herpes.

I will ever remain grateful to Dr.Odey Abang. I'm Stephanie from Canada. I was diagnosed HSV 2 on 2/11/2016 this was my worst experience of my life time. I was not interested in the English prescription since it has no cure. I had read series of books and watch people gets cure naturally with Herbs. I ran into a research and was interested to give it a try, then, I read about the miraculous works of Dr. Odey Abang, the great and powerful herbalist who had cured patients from Herpes and much other diseases.
ReplyDeleteI contacted him directly to his mail
Odeyabangherbalhome@gmail.com
He replied back and requested for a trial,which he prepared and sent it to me.
Before I could finished it, I was assured something might change my status.
When I checked, my doctor congratulated me negative and willing to work with the herbalist for natural remedies.
If you have any health issues ,contact dr Odey abang now @
