Oral Sex and herpes

i have herpes and my bf does not....he is willing to take the risk of giving oral sex to me despite me having herpes. i'm afraid to allow it as much as i would like to....cause i don't want to be responisble for gettinf him infected. i am aware of all the risks of in between breakouts and stuff.

my question is have anyone been brave enough to take that risk and do it anyway without protection, and if so give me some advice...about it.

do you have hsv1 or hsv2 genitally?

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.

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 fear of spreading it, it took me awhile to accept it but i'm stronger and past it now

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:)

I take it you had a herpes igg blood test done at some point?  Any chance you can get the results for me to look at?

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?
