Hello ma'am, what do you mean by dead?

25-year-old woman · a year ago

my gynecologist said it was inactive, an old vph and therefore not very transmissible

Thanks for the information. I checked, and while some people can get rid of some strains of the virus, others will remain indefinitely. Even with an attenuated virus, the risk of transmission cannot be considered zero.
