In Europe more than 90% of people have herpes (it stays in your Ganglia for the rest of your life)...medical fact.
Its just that it only breaks out very rarely on most of them and even then its usually only the lips (if you are lucky).
Also you only get it by having contact with fluid from these sores. So your point of: "well you cant do anything anyways , so lets just keep doing what we are doing" is unwise in my eyes. But of course the "there is no guarantee" fits anyway, like usual ^^

WRONG.
HSV-1 can be located in the mouth, tongue, or lips.
gHSV-1 is transferred from the oral region of a person to another persons genitals
HSV-II is generally only in the genital region; but can appear in the oral cavity region as well.
Herpes whitlow, is generally found on the fingers of a person who's been infected.
Gladiator herpes is a modified version of HSV-1 which can appear anywhere on the human skin.
Any version of herpes can be transmitted either via an outbreak or not. If a person is not on anti-viral therapy, lysine or monolaurin, they can transmit the virus at any time.
