HSV1 Genitally
Hi. I have HSV1 genitally, but not orally. My boyfriend has HSV1 orally, but not genitally. My question is, if we decide to have children and engage in unprotected vaginal sex, is he at risk to get it genitally? What about if he gives me oral sex unprotected, I can't give him what he already has, right? Please hurry and give me advice :)
now im kind of worried. im trying to explain all of this to him, and he says he doesnt even know if hes had a cold sore orally. now what do i do? what are the risks now? keep in mind ive only had a few outbreaks in the six years ive been dealing with this
patience :)
hsv1 isn't an issue in your relationship other than if he has an active cold sore, he shouldn't perform oral on you because of the risk of bacteria from the genital area getting into his cold sore. also avoid sex any time you have anything going on genitally too. you both have significant protection against contracting hsv1 on new places.
