A member asked:
I think i may have oral herpes -- can it be spread to my bf's genitals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes spread: Absolutely, that is how it is spread. If you have a active lesion and the virus enters through his skin or tissue he will be infected. Be open and honest with him and he will respect and love you for this.
