Is it possible? Yes, it is possible. Is it probable? No.

 

Acquiring HSV2 via oral sex does happen, but it's not common. I'd suggest you follow the same precautions you would for vaginal sex. Make sure you abstain during OB's, stay on your suppressive therapy, and if you are really concerned, consider using dental dams when your boyfriend goes downtown.

Ok um lol wats dental dams ??

[HerryTheHerp]

It's a giant piece of concrete that's usually applied by a girl's father before she's allowed to start dating. It's called a dental dam because your boyfriend will probably break his teeth upon it if he attempts to either kiss you or go downtown.

So i googled dental dams and basically its a piece of plastic u out down there and let him do his thing.. gotcha.. im tryin to learn how to work around h .. not let it define wat i can and cant do... i was jus wonderin if i wasnt havin an ob and was on suppresive meds if he decided he wanted to do tht wat is the chance/risk of him gettin "coldsores" or watever do to me havin genital herpes... ?!?

His risk is low. HSV2 doesn't like to infect the oral cavity; only about 2% of HSV2 positive people have it orally.

 

So, like I said, he can give you oral sex, and vice versa.

Simple answer - without antivirals and dental dams, only 1% of ALL Oral Herpes is HSV2.... so the risk is pretty minimal and if you are using anti-virals the risk is nearly nil ... I've never worried about it and only used the meds and none of my BF's ever got it...and one was quite fond of giving oral ;)
