Herpes genitalis: Smitte
Medikamentell behandling erstatter ikke andre tiltak for å hindre spredningen av denne seksuelt overførte infeksjonen. Faren for å smitte partneren din er størst i forbindelse med et utbrudd. Du bør bruke kondom, og du bør informere partneren din om at du har en smittsom infeksjon. Gjennom medikamentell behandling og kondombruk elimineres ikke risikoen for å smitte andre, men sjansen for smitte blir mindre. Områder som kondomet ikke dekker, kan være smittet og kan da også overføre smitte.
Selv når en person som vet at han/hun har herpes, ikke legger merke til noe sår, så kan smitte overføres i kortere perioder. Derfor anbefales det alltid å bruke kondom. Personer som er i faste parforhold, kan imidlertid velge å leve med en viss risiko for smitteoverføring dersom de ikke ønsker å bruke kondom hele tiden.
