Hsv2

So my partner has hsv2 genital . Can you get hsv 2 on the lips if I give him oral sex. I heard hsv2 do not like the mouth.

yes u can get it on the mouth

Hi Ashley
HSV2 loves growing on genitals but it can occasionally grow on the lips. Best avoid giving him oral sex if he has an outbreak. You should be safe enough between outbreaks though.

so if someone isnt experiencing an outbreak and is on an anti viral med, its okay to give/recieve oral?

you can still pass it on rarely

slim with hsv2 but not impossible.
just avoid outbreaks and see if hes happy to take daily antivirals :slight_smile:

He is on daily antiviral so we maybe ok . I also have hsv2 genital

NO NO NO IVE SEEN ALOT OF CONFLICTING ANSWERS IF I CANT EVEN KISS MY SON CUZ I WILL TRANMIT IT TO HIM AND NEVER HAD A OUTBREAK NEVER ITS STILL CONTAGIOUS

I really dont know its too many different answers out here. Im confused also

I think it’s if you only have an outbreak on your lips then you can transmit it to somebody else if you kissing on your lips. But I’m also not a doctor although I know many people that have herpes Symplex one and they still kiss their kids but I think they just consciously know that if they have an outbreak to not kiss them near their mouth

I’m lost with u and digging deeper after i just been diagnosed a few days ago ima a fucking plague no if and or around it period .

You sound like your heart is breaking
It’s worth getting some perspective. There are millions of people carrying Herpes who are walking around enjoying fulfilling lives and in loving relationships. They just dont have big banners attached to them saying “I have Herpes” so you dont know.
I found this site helpful when I was first diagnosed:
