Oral uncovered

Wondering what the risks are for my wife for uncovered oral on me. We both have hsv1 and 2 but never had a genital outbreak. I recently had a battery of urology and std testing and all was negative.  We both did just recover from ocular outbreaks.

If you both have HSV-2 you can both have sexual contact with each other without worry of spreading it.  You won't cause a outbreak by having sexual contact with each other.

Sorry bout the post,,, I thought since i picked "best answer" on the other thread it was done and nobody replied to my last post on that thread so that's why.
Anyway, I was  igg 4.6 and my wife was positive too. I was just worried about giving her my genital hsv2  orally,, or provoking another ocular problem for her.

You have multiple posts in our community.  In the future keep all your questions in this post.  This is covered in our read before posting.

If you both have HSV-1 and HSV-2 there is no risk as you both already have the virus.  What testing was performed to notify you that you have HSV-1 and HSV-2?  Was it an IGG test?  I looked through some of your posts and never saw that.
