Perineal massage

I’ve seen the peri prep my bits from the my expert midwife website and I really want to use it as I had a second degree tear during my first birth so I want to try and limit that this time! However the research says not to do perineal massage if you have herpes. I was diagnosed with HSV1 (herpes simplex virus type 1) in January 2018, 2 years after my first childbirth. And it is the only outbreak I’ve ever had. Does this mean I still won’t be able to do perineal massage or is it if I’m just having an outbreak?
