Herpes simplex w/o complications my boyfriends doc says only oral how do i know for sure i don't want it, internet say could be oral or genital ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: It really dos not matter as the oral or genital can cause issues in the oral or genital areas. So if he has a HSV-1 and you have oral sex it can give you a genital problem. To avoid oral issues avoid kissing when he has an active lesion. For the other I would just avoid oral sex with anyone with a history of oral herpes, although if they are healed over it might not be an issue.
