HSV 2 and Oral Herpes
If you have hsv 2 on genitals and you give someone oral sex and they have hsv2 on genitals can you get hsv 2 on your mouth. I am on valacyclovie 1 gm a day?
Its very hard to say, that the most important thing you should do is making a test. best wishes for u
Yes sorry, I was referring to the protection that your own immune system supplies to your body. I believe that studies suggest that once someone has an established genital HSV2 infection they have not identified someone who had gone on to become infected HSV2 orally (I think even obtaining a HSV1 infection is also incredibly rare as HSV2 antibodies have better cross reaction to HSV1 than the other way around).
Yes the protection is very good. It is not worth enhancing the odds by giving oral when an outbreak is present. A pimple is not an outbreak. Is she on antivirals?
This very low risk for the double reasoning that HSV2 does not favor the oral location and you already have specific antibodies to the virus. The chances would be approaching zero but still a theoretical possibility.
