Hi. which does he have, oral or in the genitals and is it hsv1 or hsv2?
At this point not necessary to see a doctor. Him taking surpessive meds does lower the risk for you contacting and the use of condoms also adds to your protection.
Just keep an eye out in the next 2 to 12 days for any sores and can test in 3 months.
So if I was to continue to see this person in a relationship, what precautions are the best method to use?
People with hsv2 genital prefer to have a partner with it also. You might get tested now as maybe your positive from before as quite a few people have this. If you negative, having sex even using a condom would put you at risk as also shedding takes place where the virus comes to the skin surface without a lesion and could be contracted at that time.
Hsv2 genital means shedding can take place anywhere in the boxer short area so basicly from the waist down.
