Herpes virus always brings changes in a life of a couple such as abstaining from sex during outbreaks. For most people with herpes, this occurs only a few times a year. Ask your partner how often he or she has outbreaks so you'll have some idea of what to expect.
When one partner is infected it is very essential to do everything possible to avoid the infection of another partner. If it's difficult to refuse of having sexual relations for a period of time, it's recommended to take preventive measures like using condoms. However while using condoms it's necessary to be aware of the main tips of their right usage.
Firstly, if herpes occurs on a place not covered by a condom the condom is of little help in fact. Condoms and foams should not be relied upon when herpes sores or symptoms are present. Condoms do not provide 100 percent protection because a lesion may be found which the condom did not cover. Used consistently, however, condoms are one of the best available forms of prevention.
In order to save the relationships you and your partner will need to have an open, honest conversation about herpes so you can work together to prevent transmission. Your partner will need to feel comfortable telling you when he or she feels an outbreak coming on. Your relationship may benefit if you talk sincerely and without any negative emotions. Try to understand and accept the fact as it is.
Bear in mind that really worthy relationships are based first of all on reciprocal trust and understanding, friendship and support. Intimate relations come at the second place and also play a considerable role in life. However sometimes it's better not to hurry up with intimate life, as intimate life without the above mentioned qualities leads to the parting.
