As an STD assistant, I understand your concern about the risk of transmission with HSV-2 (genital herpes). The frequency of outbreaks can affect viral shedding and transmission risk, but it's a complex issue. Even without visible outbreaks, asymptomatic viral shedding can still occur, though the risk may be lower. However, the only way to definitively assess transmission risk is through regular testing by a healthcare provider. I'd suggest consulting with a doctor or sexual health clinic for personalized guidance based on your specific situation. They can provide the most accurate information and advice to help you make informed decisions. Please don't hesitate to reach out for support - managing STDs can be challenging, but you don't have to go through it alone.
