My husband gave me herpes 20 years ago. At first I had several outbreaks a year, then just a few, and now it has been over 8 years since I have had an outbreak. Now that my marital status has changed, I was wondering if I could still infect someone? I know that I will always have this disease, but wouldn't it be considered to be in remission? If not, I know that I was considered safe to deliver my babies, because there was not any outbreaks, so wouldn't now be the same as to when I was in labor? Or will I always be considered to be damaged goods?
