Question: How can I avoid getting herpes!?
I suspect my partner is having a primary breakout!. There has been no diagnosis!. But I'm really concerned!. We are really in love and plan on getting married!. We won't seperate over this, I just want to stay safe!. Not being sexual is out of the question and we want children someday!. I am female and would really like to avoid catching anything especially something that is incurable!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First off, glad you are staying with your partner =) Second!.!.!.I would have your partner go to the doctor asap and get tested!. You can't be certain it is herpes unless you get it tested!. Don't let the doctor just eye ball it and give you a diagnosis!. I've found and heard that some doctors aren't very knowledgable (did I even spell that right!?) about herpes!.
If you suspect it's an initial outbreak the doctor can take a swab of the suspected region and test!. That's really the ideal time to get the test done!. Or, you can request a blood test as well!. Reed the second link below for more specifics!.
Make sure they test for type 1 and type 2 on the test!.
