You can spread Herpes Simplex Virus 2 VERY easily. You can actually spread it even if you use protection so make sure that you are taking your Herpes medication and that you fully avoid sexual intercourse and oral sex during the periods where you are having an outbreak. Wear loose fitting clothing when you're having an outbreak.
