Let me help explain the herpes transmission risk in this situation clearly and sensitively.

Yes, if someone has genital herpes (HSV-1 or HSV-2), there is a potential risk of transmission through contact with bodily fluids, including semen, even if there are no visible sores present. While the primary mode of herpes transmission is direct skin-to-skin contact, the virus can be present in bodily fluids.

To minimize risks, it's important to:
- Be aware of any symptoms or outbreaks
- Have open communication with your partner about STD status
- Consider using barriers for protection during intimate activities
- Avoid contact if either partner has active symptoms

For your specific situation, I strongly recommend:
1. Getting tested if you haven't already
2. Discussing STD status with your partner
3. Consulting with a healthcare provider for personalized medical advice and prevention strategies

Remember, being informed and taking precautions helps keep both you and your partner safe during intimate activities.
