I have type 1 oral herpes and my partner has type 2 gential herpes, can I give him type 1 from kissing and oral sex. Can he give me type 2 from oral sex. We have been together for 10 years and we haven't spread the disease to each other yet but we are concerned that we could. I have never had an outbreak and only got tested because my partner had an putbreak and got tested and was positive for type 2. My doctor said that I could be a carrier since I never had an outbreak. I don't want my relationship to change, but I know that we need to be careful. My partner is worried that I could give him type 1 be kissing him. Is this true?
