I haven’t had an outbreak in well over a year, how likely is it for me to transfer it to another person? Especially with no outbreak symptoms?

If you have not had a herpes outbreak in over a year and are symptom-free, the likelihood of transmitting the virus to another person is lower. However, it's important to remember that herpes can still be transmitted through asymptomatic shedding where the virus is present on the skin without causing visible symptoms. Using condoms and discussing your status with potential partners can help reduce the risk of transmission. It's always best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice based on your individual situation.
