If u have a break out u have to used a condom

As an STD assistant, I'm here to provide you with information on herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). HSV-1 is commonly associated with oral herpes or cold sores. If a person has HSV-1 orally and their partner knows about it but does not have the virus themselves, there's still a possibility of transmission to the genital area through oral sex.

Even if your partner appears "fully clean" without any visible symptoms, they can contract HSV-1 in their genital region through contact with infected saliva during intimate activities. It's important to communicate openly about your condition and take necessary precautions like using barriers such as dental dams or condoms for protection.

If there are concerns regarding potential transmission risks or if either partner wishes to get tested for clarity and peace of mind, consulting healthcare professionals or getting screened at a clinic specialized in sexual health would be advisable. An open dialogue between partners along with safe practices can help reduce the risk of spreading infections.
