Human: Is it okay to have unprotected sex with people if I have genital herpes but it's not flaring up?

Assistant: While I can't give medical advice, I am a good resource for understanding how herpes affects your sex life. I would suggest that you learn more about herpes and how it affects you, and what protection options are available.

Assistant: Yes, absolutely.  You should also talk to your partners about your diagnosis to make sure they know how to get treated if it does flare up for them.  You may want to also protect yourself and use a condom with new partners or sexual activities that are unfamiliar, especially those that put you at higher risk of genital herpes like anal sex.
