hepatitis c & oral sex

[lisami1323]

First, let me apologize in advance as I am sure this question has been asked over & over & over again.  I have found this website to be a wonderful resource, and am excited to have finally created an account and have the opportunity to be a part of this.

I am currently in a relationship, that has recently become quite serious.  He is positive for Hepatitis C and I am not.  I do however, have HSV type 2.  Now, I am well aware of the risks that are associated with engaging in unprotected sex, especially when I am undergoing an outbreak.  I also realize the risk we both purpose to each other.  The question I have is in regards to oral sex.  Me performing oral sex to him.  This is something I want to do quite badly, and I would very much prefer NOT to utilize protection.  I have read many things regarding the trace of HCV (viral load) in semen.  And how all findings have been inconclusive regarding the transmission of HCV via oral sex and the ingesting of semen.

I was just hoping that someone could possibly share their experiences, perhaps in a long term monogamous relationship and/or marriage.  My partner is in no way pressuring me, this is just something that I have wanted to do for a while, but because I am a single mother; I have been too scared even if the possibility of transmission is extremely low.

Thank you so very much for taking the time in reading my post, and I TRULY look forward to any and all responses.

“This is something I want to do quite badly”
Get married, that should kill the urge. It seems to be the first thing to go.
My advice to him is put it in the pre-nup.

Not a silly question at all.  That's just the only person I know who ever tried that and you asked what other people experienced.  They started to hear a rythmic squeeka squeeka sound and she paused to see what it was.  Silence.  She began again and there it was.  Squeeka squeeka squeeka.  Then she got the giggles.  Then he got the giggles.  I think everyone she told this to also got the giggles.

I don't want you to think I'm laughing at you.  That's not what I intended.

Couldn't resist :).
Seriously, though, my husband and I have 'done it all' and then some in 25 years together, and he was almost surely hcv positive the whole time, and I'm still hcv negative.
