There's always a risk, it's just up to you whether you're prepared to take it. To be safe you should always use condoms, but you also need to know that someone with herpes can pass the virus on even if they don't have an outbreak.

There are two types of HSV, HSV type 1 and 2, and both can cause genital herpes.
