I am seeing a man that has genital herpes, and I don't have herpes please help!
I am seeing a man and I see myself falling for him more everyday. He has Genital herpes, It doesn't bother me or offend me at all. I treat him like I want to be treated. I myself don't have Herpes. Since I am falling for him, I started researching this and I would like more info on how to protect myself from getting herpes...I know to use condoms'. Washing hands.. No contact at all where the Virus is unless we use protection..Will there ever be a time where I can give him Oral? I am not going to stop seeing him just because of his situation, he is a great guy and can't help that he got this Virus. He is honest, he didn't have to tell me, but he did...He has done his research. Now I am doing mine. Maybe one of these days Him and I can do this researching together...Please help me get all the info I need to better and help our relationship. Thank you
You can give him oral when theres not an outbreak but if your not comfortable about it then use a condom

Well the first question for him is do you take valtrex? 1000mg a day helps reduce the risk of giving it to you, a condom does too. You can get it anytime with or without an outbreak that does not matter. The mouth too is my experience but when the partner takes higher dose of valtrex and a rubber probally not get it, my sis can tell you I am right that advise worked for her and she went with the guy for 3 yrs. who had herpes she never caught it.

I have herpes and I have been married for ten years. I take valtrex and I don't use protection when having sex with my wife. During an outbreak I dont have sex period.
She has not contracted herpes. education is the key.
