Thread: Herpes Type one genitally can be spread only during an outbreak correct?

I have read that nearly 80% of the worlds population has contracted some form of type 1 herpes. I have been dating this woman who says that she may have it. But its hard to spread is what my doctor was telling me unless there is an actual outbreak during sex. What types of medicines are used to prevent outbreaks? And what is the scoop on when it can be spread!?

It can be spread any time--it's just more likely during outbreaks
