Yes, it is possible to transmit herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) from the genital area to the mouth through oral sex. Even if both partners have HSV-2 on their genitals only, there is a risk of transmission to other areas like the mouth during oral contact. It's essential for both partners to communicate openly about their status and take precautions such as using dental dams or condoms during sexual activities. If you have concerns about potential transmission routes or symptoms, consider consulting a healthcare provider for personalized advice and testing options.
