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 your concerns. It's important to have open conversations about sexual health to make informed decisions. I would advise consulting a healthcare professional for personalized guidance and testing if you have any specific concerns.
