I was just wondering what is the safest way to have oral sex if you have genital herpes. My boyfriend doesnt have it but i do. he really wants to have oral sex with me but i dont want to give it to him in his mouth im on Valtrex and havent had an outbreak for over a year so is okay to just do it or is there something that we can do

it's totally up to the two of you. You can have unprotected oral sex or you can utilize barrier protection for oral sex.

Okay thanks i know he said he wasnt too worried. But is there a good chance he will get it even though im on medication like is it better to do it when im on Valtrex or without

do you take valtrex every day for suppressive therapy?

betsy

Yes i take 1gram daily and i have been on it long enough that when i feel that im getting an outbreak i take it three times a day. Ever since i have been on it i havent gotten an outbreak.

the suppressive therapy is lowering your partner's risk significantly

Thank you that makes me feel a lot better knowing that!
