Herpes type 2 and oral sex

I have been tested for all STD's and I am negative.  My boyfriend told me he is positive from Herpes type 2 and has about one outbreak a year.  Can I get Herpes 2 if I perform oral sex on him without protection?  What are the risks?

Thank you for any information.

Yes you can though it's less likely, but still possible.

Is your partner on daily suppressive therapy to help lower your risk over all?


The herpes handbook at www.westoverheights.com is a terrific resource to learn more if you haven't read it already. It's free to read online or print out at home.
