Yes, I think it would be OK as long as you do not have an outbreak
I understand your concern about transmission risks, and it's great that you're being thoughtful about your partner's safety. While having no outbreaks for a year is positive, it's important to know that HSV-2 can still be transmitted even without visible symptoms (called asymptomatic shedding). The risk may be lower during periods without outbreaks, but it's not zero.Since this involves specific medical advice about transmission risks and safe sexual practices, I strongly recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider. They can evaluate your specific situation and provide personalized guidance based on your medical history and circumstances.It's also important to have an open and honest discussion with your partner about risks and comfort levels. Together with your healthcare provider, you can make an informed decision that works best for both of you.
