sorry for the late response,
i have both hsv1 and 2...he does not have it. Since i have found out i had herpes in 2004 i have not been sexually active very often for fearFears and phobias of spreading it, it took me awhile to accept it but i'm stronger and past it now
Has your partner been tested to know his own status?
How do you treat your herpes?
I've never received protected oral sex from a partner ever. None of my partners have contracted hsv2 orally. I haven't transmitted it genitally even in over 21 years.

i don't take and have never taken anything to treat herpes except since my first outbreak, was prescribed acylovir and also zovirax.
I have never gotten any visible signs of outbreaks for the past 5 years i believe only 3 ocurrences has happened and those have been under stressful periods in my life
so me considering to allow receiving oral sex is now a concern as to what i need to do to go about it safely and responsible....
what can you suggest??, thank u lots:)
Have you ever read the herpes handbook at www.westoverheights.com? It's a free resource that is useful for both you and your partner.
Has your partner had a blood test done or is it an assumption that he is negative?
