HSV-2 Prevention
As said above, people with HSV-2 or genital herpes should avoid sexual activities during an outbreak. This will prevent the virus from spreading to your partners. Even when the symptoms have subsided, make sure to take preventive measures by wearing condoms. Nevertheless, keep in mind that this can only provide partial protection because the HSV-2 virus could exist in other areas that aren’t covered by the condom. Medical circumcision could ensure long-term protection for males against HSV-2 and other sexually transmitted diseases. [10]
