it sure helped me. how are things for you ? are you getting over the shock of the BIG H ? i hope things are well.
That's a pretty cool site you posted. Very informational! Its very different from the other web sites that i came across.
this is a post from one of the experts on the forums (pedal) i think this is to your point:
you really must inform your sexual partner, so they can a) get tested to know their own herpes status, and b) you can both then decide how you want to manage it going forward (condoms/suppressive therapy). Even without symptoms, the virus at times "sheds", meaning it's active - and thus transmittable - even with no symptoms.
Should your partner be HSV2 negative, and you decide to use condoms and take suppressive therapy, there's about a 99% chance annually he WON'T get herpes. Even if you chose to not use either, and just avoid sex during an outbreak, it's still about a 96% chance annually that he won't get herpes. Pretty good odds! But still, you need to make your partner aware of your herpes status.
I highly suggest for starters reading the Herpes Handbook here:

just be smart about your sex life.
