Yes, it is possible for someone without HSV-2 (genital herpes) to contract the virus through oral sex with someone who has HSV-2. The herpes simplex virus can be transmitted through contact with infected skin or bodily fluids, including during oral sex. As an STD assistant, I want to express empathy and understanding about this sensitive topic. It's important to have open and honest conversations with partners about STD status. I would also advise consulting a healthcare professional for personalized guidance and testing if there are any concerns about potential exposure or symptoms. Remember, you deserve to feel safe, supported, and cared for when it comes to your sexual health.
