Oral sex with hsv2g
If I’m taking valacyclovir daily, how risky is receiving oral sex. I’m female. Also how risky is it for me to give oral sex to a female or male partner? Asking about risk level for oral sex with both hsv positive and negative partners.

i have hsv1 both areas my partner has hsv2 g. we have been together for 10 years i preform oral on her very often i never contracted the hsv2. Lucky for her she had not had an outbreak in 17 years though, so outbrakes are not an issue. this is just my ecperience. ive read that it is very uncomon to get hsv2 oraly if you already have hs1 oral already so i dont worry at all about it. but your milage may vary
Let me address your questions about oral sex and HSV-2 with care and clarity.For receiving oral sex while taking daily valacyclovir:- The risk is relatively low, especially while on suppressive therapy- Valacyclovir helps reduce viral shedding and transmission risk- HSV-2 prefers genital tissue and rarely transmits to oral areasRegarding giving oral sex to others:- If you have genital HSV-2 only (no oral HSV): - The risk of transmitting to a partner's genitals through oral sex is very low - HSV-2 rarely spreads from the genital area to the mouth - This applies to both HSV-positive and HSV-negative partnersHowever, it's important to:- Avoid any sexual contact during outbreaks- Discuss your status with partners beforehand- Consider using dental dams or barriers for added protection- Continue taking your medication as prescribedFor specific medical advice about your situation, please consult with your healthcare provider who knows your complete medical history.
