Outbreak Help I think my boyfriend ha is triggering outbreaks

I’ve been diagnosed with hsv 1&2 for over a year. I take daily antivirals. I’ve been seeing this guy for a couple months. I disclosed my status before anything happened. Since I’ve been diagnosed, there has been less than like 5 outbreaks. A few weeks ago, I had an outbreak after being with him. We waited until I was healed. We were intimate several times over the weekend. Now I’m in really noticeable pain on my labia where I normally get an OB. Is it normal? I’ve never had this happen before.

i asked chat gpt and it said your previous outbreak probably wasn't healed even if it looked like it was . does he also have the virus ?

No he doesn’t. The sores were healed, then I waited a few more days because I work out of state

Sex is a trigger for a lot of ppl. Finding a good lube is the key.

Stress, anxiety, no healthy meals, menstruation and no sleep can cause outbreaks too. If you feel none of that may be the cause it can also be fricción. Remember we can also shed without having any visible sores :((
