I am dating a woman, she has hsv 2. We have had oral sex only with eachother , can I catch it?
We have been dating for a few weeks. I have given her oral sex twice and her to me once. She just decided to tell me she had hsv2 today. Can I catch it from the oral sex we have had? And how much protection can I expect from a condum for oral sex or for intercourse?
You can get the herpes virus from oral, vaginal or anal sex. That being said a condom is the best protection we have to cut down significantly on exposure and risk of getting herpes so use the condom every time.

you can generally only catch it if the sores are visible, however it may be contagious just before an outbreak, so suggest to her that she take the antiviral drugs regularly to minimise transmission to you.
Listen i need your help. I've got hsv 2 and i really like this guy and want to sleep with him. Should i tell him now or not? How did you feel after she told you? How would you have reacted if she'd told you before any sexual contact?
