I know you can transmit herpes through oral sex but what is the risk? I'm a women with herpes but my partner dosen't have it.
Even though I don't have outbreaks, I know there is still a risk of passing it on (which I definately don't want to do), so what is the chance?
The risk is low. You may talk to your doc as well about suppressive therapy, it reduces the chanses of transmission.
