    Your info was very helpful but I still have a question for my own case. I have genital herpes type 2,whereas my boyfriend has nothing. So, I do know about the intercourse part but I am curious to learn what happens if he performs oral sex on me?and what happens if I perform oral sex on him?

    Finally, I have started using valtrex daily for more protection-Does the pill become effective as a supressive medication in the first place so that gives us some sort of relief to continue our sex life?(along with condom)

    my partner has oral herpes and i dont. what are the chances of me attracting the virus from kissing? and does the risk increase with unprotected sex?
    and what effect would this have when we have kids? is it possible that they will be born with it? im not sure what type he has but he gets really tired and sleeps for most of the day and the outbreaks are quite often.

    Helpful post. I have the similar problem with you. But so many people do not know what herpes is even they infected it. I decide to settle down and learn some useful information. God blessKiss
