They exist: The most important thing is to check for herpes blisters. If they are present, even in the most minute form, you can transmit it to him. Sometimes you can't see the lesions. Remember herpes is highly infectious. Be careful!

Risky: Even if you have no visible herpetic lesions, it is still possible to transmit the herpes virus. This virus is responsible for an increasing number of cancers in the mouth and neck. Even if the chances are slim, the results of getting the virus could be devastating.

Very high risk: He is at high risk of contracting HSV II, whether or not sores are present. It's up to you and your partner to decide what level of risk you are comfortable with. The herpes can be transmitted by active or passive partner.
