Oral Sex And Genital Herpes
I've been on suppressive therapy for about 5 months now breakout free and have been wondering about oral sex and how to still receive it. Me and my girlfriend use condoms every time we have sex and she's never performed oral on me since I found out I had HSV-2, but she's willing and doesn't want to use a condome to perform it on me. Only when we have sex. So my question is what would be the risk of her contracting oral HSV-2 without the use of a barrier?
The risk is 5he same. Like I said though hsv2 oral infections are not common so her risk is much smaller than her giving you hsv1 on your genitals.
All in all the risks are small and even if she did get hsv2 orally it has fewer outbreaks than hsv1 and sheds very little.

Appreciate the info thanks
Yes but the risk is very small. Hsv2 is rarely transmitted to the oral cavity. It simply doesn't like it although were not sure why.

My girl has hsv1 orally by the way forgot to mention that so could she contact hsv2 orally if she does give me oral or does that make the risk even less since she already has hsv1 orally and I have it genitally?
