Should Precautions Be Taken During Intimacy With Herpes Affected Person?

Dear Mark



This is Vikas a 27 year old male from Mumbai, India. I have recently met someone(Male)& really like him. He has been honest & confessed in the 1st meeting itself that he has been recently treated for Harpies. He had sores around his lips & some places in his biceps & back. He was admitted in a good hospital & treated properly. He was discharged exactly 2 weeks back & presently he does not have any sores just few marks left where he was infected. I have the following queries: -



1. Is Harpies treatable? As in is there any chance that this guy will get this desease again?



2. If i have to be with this guy what precautions i need to take?



3. At his present condition as explained is it safe to be physically initimate minus the sex(Only hugging etc)



4. What if we wait for 1/2 months more & then decide to be intimate will it be safe?



Please do revert



Thanks in advance
