Hello,

Wow! This group has been dead!

I was wondering if anyone knows the answer to a question. I used to get
really bad and long outbreaks, but now they are short, with minimal prodrome
too. Sometimes its just one small bump and thats it. I was wondering if
there is any more contagion for a person who is getting big outbreaks vs.
someone who is just getting small ones or even just prodrome and nothing
else? I mean is the viral content on the persons skin less if the outbreak
is smaller, meaning that its less likely that they can infect someone else?

I'm just wondering because I am in the dating loop again. I recently met
someone online who also has genital herpes (from a non herpes site) and then
met someone else who doesnt have it, both I am getting to know a little. But
the last thing I want is to infect someone else.

Al
