The surest way to not contract the herpes virus is to ONLY have sexual relations with a partner whom you are in a monogamous committed relationship with and with whom you can trust.  The second best way to not contract the virus is to use protection every time you have sexual relations.  If any part of your body comes into contact with an infected and active person you will contract the virus.  It is sooo very easy to contract the virus as it is passed on by skin to skin contact.  Do not forget that herpes can form outbreaks in and around the mouth and even kissing can pass the virus onto you.  If you do not trust, do not know or are not sure if your partner has the virus, you must be very cautious.  Once you contract this virus you will have it for the rest of your life.  The only treatment that will stop your body from producing outbreaks on your skin is the one that we offer here at Never an Outbreak.  Our products are all natural and have been proven to stop all outbreaks.
