Most cases of genital herpes have traditionally been caused by HSV-2
Dear Dr. Roach: I have a question regarding the transmission rate of herpes simplex virus . I had a sexual encounter with exposure to HSV-1. Despite being careful, there was some contact. I explained my fear of contracting HSV-1, and my partner admitted that they had the virus but had been on antiviral medication for years, to the point where it is unlikely for them to transmit it .
A brief exposure and a partner on anti-herpes drugs, like acyclovir, reduce the risk of transmission. Using a condom every time also reduces the risk of transmission. More importantly, you are now 14 days past exposure. The usual time to develop symptoms after exposure to genital herpes is four days, but it can be in as little as two days. It shouldn’t occur after 12 days.
However, despite decades of research, it isn’t at all clear that switching sugar-sweetened foods and beverages with nonnutritive sweeteners leads to weight improvement. Nonnutritive sweetener use is also associated with an increase in diabetes risk. This is due to changes in the gut microbiome, changes in gut-brain signalling and other mechanisms. As far as I know, there is no convincing benefit of using natural sweetners over synthetic.
