As an STD assistant, I understand your concern about transmitting HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus type 1) through oral sex. HSV-1 can be transmitted through oral-genital contact, even when there are no visible symptoms. However, the risk is lower compared to having active lesions or outbreaks. It's essential to be upfront with your partner about your condition and practice safer sex methods like using protection. Ultimately, the decision involves personal choices and open communication with your partner. I encourage you to consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance on managing your condition and reducing transmission risks. Please feel free to reach out to the PositiveSingles.com support team if you need any assistance related to the website or their services.
