Long story I won't go into here but I have genital herpes. It was not contracted through promiscuity but rather an irresponsible former partner. Anyway things are likely to get physical quite soon with a new partner. I know abstinence is the only sure fire way of avoiding infecting him but I seem to have read that being circumcised reduces a man's risk contracting it during unprotected sex. I'm absolutely not suggesting we will ever have unprotected sex and he already knows my status and says he's fine with it but I wondered if you thought this was right?
