Yes, it is possible to transmit HSV-2 through contact with genital fluids like pre-ejaculate (precum) or ejaculate (cum), including during oral sex. Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact in the genital area, so there is a risk of transmission if your partner comes into direct contact with infected fluids. Using protection such as condoms and dental dams can help reduce this risk but may not eliminate it entirely. It's important for both partners to communicate openly about their sexual health and consider getting tested for STDs regularly.
If you have concerns about herpes or any other sexually transmitted infection, I recommend consulting healthcare professionals or visiting a clinic for testing and guidance on how to protect yourself and your partner from potential infections.
