Herpes HSV2 Genital

I am a female and have HSV2 Genital Herpes.  I am negative for HSV1 Oral.    That being said, can I transmit HSV2 to someone by performing oral sex on them. I have never had anything more than a very rare canker sore in my mouth. Never a cold sore of any sorts. I know there is a possibility of transmitting HSV2 to someone by them performing oral sex on me irregardless of whether or not I am having an outbreak.   I have had HSV2 for 25 years, but the changes discovered since then, have me very confused.   Thank you

no, your hsv2 wouldn't be transmitted from you performing oral on someone.  

it's low risk that they'd contract hsv2 orally from performing oral on you.

keep asking questions!
