Re-post w/ more info: HSV1 or 2? It is common to have oral or genital herpes without symptoms and infect a partner. "until now" suggests new symptoms in your partner, right? Does "give bf herpes orally" mean oral sex, i.e. he has genital symptoms? Or might he have oral herpes, maybe from kissing or by oral sex on you? If he has symptoms, has herpes been confirmed as the cause? If not, he should seek care ASAP.
