Need info

A year ago I was diagnosed with genital herpes HSV2.I'm quite informed about my condition.But there is one thing I don't understand.If I have HSV2 and my partner doesn't have herpes,neither HSV1 nor HSV2,can he still perform an oral sex on me? I'm scared I could transfer it to him,cause the other night he had oral sex with me and I had a little irritation,which might have been an outbreak(I wasn't sure).So I'm afraid he could catch it on his lips even though he didn't touch it with his tongue or the lips....Tell me more about it.Thanks


This discussion is related to Can I give myself genital herpes if I have oral herpes?.

Oral hsv2 is very rare, and while it is a possibility, its not likely at all.

If you have symptoms, its always a good idea to avoid sexual contact.  You might also think about taking suppression, which is daily valtrex or acyclovir.

You should check out the herpes handbook at www.westoverheights.com
