So dating a girl who is kind of a hypochondriac. She is really worried about STD’s and prefers PinV only with condom due to lack of exposure. No oral either way unless in a serious relationship. We are moving along and thinking of going for STD tests. I’ve been tested before and always negative, but she mentioned how you can be tested for Herpes which I didn’t know they had a test for. She says she has been tested and found she has HSV1 the lip herpes which is prevalent in 2/3rds of americans. So she has been worried about STD’s, but how much should I be worried about HSV1? From what I remember as long as someone isn’t in an active breakout you have very low chance of contraction. She has never had a cold sore, just a test that came up positive. I know that HSV1 can still transfer genitally, like HSV2, but is it something I should be worried about? I am a young healthy male and she has never had a breakout. Do I worry about this, or am I becoming a hypochondriac too? With how common cold sores are its likely I’ve already been exposed. I just wanted to check as I haven’t looked at the research recently. Thanks everyone
