Majority of the adults have been exposed to oral herpes. If your boyfriend does not immune deficiency, do not be concerned about passing it him. If he is your boyfriend in the usual meaning of the term, he has already been exposed to the virus.

Not very certain that this is herpes. Could very well be some other type of infection such as yeast or bacteria. Advise that you see dermatologist for evaluation and possible testing/treatment. Advise not to have close contact with your boyfriend until this problem is diagnosed and treated.
