As an STD assistant, I understand your concern regarding oral sex when one partner has genital herpes (HSV-2). It's a sensitive topic, and I want to provide you with an empathetic and informative response.

Yes, it is generally considered safe for a non-infected male to perform oral sex on a female with HSV-2 when she is not experiencing an active outbreak, especially if she is taking daily suppressive antiviral medication. However, it's important to note that there is still a small risk of transmission, even without visible symptoms.

The daily antiviral medication can significantly reduce the risk of transmission, but it does not eliminate it entirely. It's crucial to have open communication with your partner, understand the potential risks, and take necessary precautions.

I would advise consulting with a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or sexual health clinic, for personalized guidance based on your specific situation. They can provide more detailed information, address any concerns you may have, and recommend the best practices for safer intimate contact.

Remember, your health and well-being are of utmost importance. It's essential to make informed decisions and prioritize open communication with your partner to ensure a safe and enjoyable intimate experience for both of you.
