It is not recommended to have unprotected sex with a person who has genital herpes. Genital herpes can be easily transmitted through sexual contact, even when there are no visible symptoms present. Using condoms consistently and correctly during sexual activity can significantly reduce the risk of transmission but does not eliminate it entirely. It's important to communicate openly with your partner about their HSV status and take necessary precautions to protect both partners from potential transmission risks. If you have concerns or questions about safer sex practices related to genital herpes, consulting a healthcare provider for personalized advice is advisable.
