Q: is there a way to have sex with my boyfriend without a condom and when there is no breakout

He is the one with the virus not me(if that makes a difference or not)just woundering if there is any med. he can take or anything we can do so at least once in awhile we could have intercoarse without a condom.  for example not coming inside of me while no breakout and even wait the 7 days before and after a breakout.

The virus is passed FROM the previously infected area on him DURING intimate contact even without an outbreak present, not just bodily fluids. Even WITH a condom or a symptom free partner, you are always at risk. That's how I was infected.
