Am I really at risk without a condom? Is it possible for me to take antivirals to have condomless sex as well?

Even if your partner is taking antiviral medication for genital herpes, there is still a risk of transmission without using a condom. The risk is lower when there are no visible symptoms, but it is not eliminated entirely. If you do not have the virus yourself, there is no need for you to take antiviral medication. It's always important to discuss any concerns or questions about sexual health with a healthcare provider.
