How To Have Sex With Herpes

How can you have sex with herpes safely — and how do you reduce transmission risk?

Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 or HSV-2). In this episode, we explain how herpes is transmitted, how outbreaks behave, and how doctors advise patients across Europe on safer sex and disclosure.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between HSV-1 and HSV-2 and how each can affect the genital area

• How herpes spreads: skin-to-skin contact, including when no visible sores are present (asymptomatic shedding)

• Why avoiding sexual contact during active outbreaks reduces transmission risk

• The role of condoms and dental dams in lowering (but not eliminating) risk

• When suppressive antiviral therapy may be considered after medical assessment

• How pregnancy, new partners, or immunocompromised status influence clinical advice

• Situations where antiviral prescription requests may be declined if not clinically indicated

We also discuss communication with partners, testing considerations, and the emotional impact of diagnosis.

This episode complements our full clinical guide:
