Hi everyone,
I was diagnosed with HSV2 a year ago and am seeking clarification on the safety of oral sex. I've read lots of conflicting information on the subject, some articles saying HSV2 doesn't like to live around the mouth (it prefers the nerve ganglia in the nether regions), and other articles saying it can be spread from genitals to mouth! References would be much appreciated!
Also wondering if it's worthwhile taking suppressive therapy if I'm not having noticeable outbreaks? I had my first outbreak (terrible), followed by another one or two (less terrible), and now I get occasional nerve pain which lasts a few seconds... then nothing. From what I've read I'm not really a candidate for therapy, however would any future partner benefit from this (even if I'm not having outbreaks)?
Thanks
