If I have Genital Herpes.....

If I have genital herpes, and I am not having an outbreak, and am on daily medication;
can I pass genital herpes through oral sex to a partner who is does not have herpes?

I think the risk is very low but I think you still can... maybe about a 2% chance...

we don't have numbers to put on transmission of hsv2 to the oral area through oral sex.  it happens but not very often.

daily suppressive therapy helps reduce transmission no matter what the sex act since it reduces the amount of time you are actively shedding virus on the skin.
