[Oral Herpe (HSV1) no outbreak , Need Kissing advice to prevent transmission.]

I was diagnosed with HSV1 last year and I waited for an outbreak to decide whether its oral or Genital herpe but I never had any outbreak yet.

 

But i feel like its an oral herpe because I never had unprotected oral sex but I used to kiss a lot.

 

So my concern is that since I never had any outbreaks but I like kissing during sex but now I am afraid to kiss my GF.

Any tips for kissing? can simple lip kiss enough to prevent transmission?

 

Me and my GF both dont like oral so we always do protected vaginal sex and both like to kiss.

Thanks for your answer. I have done type specific tests but is there a test to find whether its oral or genital for HSV1.

I am 26 and I am diagnosed with HSV1... I mean I will only have unprotected sex if I want kids otherwise I will only perform protected vaginal sex during asymptomatic shedding. No Oral at all. I never had any outbreaks yet but couple of time I got pimple type blister near mouth thats why I assume I have oral HSV1.

 

Actually I dont want my partner to catch Herpes from me.

yes I neither want nor give oral sex to my partner. I am doing this sacrifice for the sake of reducing Herpe transmission to my partner. My priority is to have kids and stop herpe transmission as possible as I can.

Thanks for your help. Its positive to hear that there are still couples living together without infecting their partners. Thats what I am looking for and about oral sex I dont like oral sex so there is no way I am performing oral even with protection :). I only love vaginal which I will keep doing protected during asymptomatic shedding.

Hi,

 

Is it possible to not infect your partner by abstaining from oral sex and having only protected vaginal sex during asymptomatic oral herpes ?

 

I never had any outbreak yet in 1 year. So I only worry about my partner about virus transmission. I want my partner safe so I have given up oral sex and intimate kissing (except simple lip kiss) and will have only protected vaginal sex.

 

is that enough to prevent herpes transmission to my partner ?
