If me and my partner both have hsv-1 (oral only) could she get hsv in the genital area from me giving oral?

    If you and your partner have oral herpes, I think oral sex will spread the virus to your partner genitals. Then, she may contract genital herpes. Be careful!

    Hi john53994

    Your partner may get genital herpes thorugh oral sex. As you said that you got oral herpes. So, having oral sex during an outbreak will easily give the virus to your girlfriend.

      Even though oral herpes doesn't appear, the virus still spreads to your body if your partner have had it before. You may be unlucky to get it. Have you treat them? I think hsv may cause more discomfort

      Many people told me to use tea tree oil, but it didn't work for me. I also apply apple cider vinegar. Unluckily, my skin gets burning, tingling. Should I try to apply cream?

      Your skin may be sensitive, so it's easy to have an allergic with these home remedies. Before using, you should dilute them with water to avoid allergies. But, if home remedy doesn't work for you, you can try to apply creams, FDA-approved products is safe and effective. You can look for them on the internet. Hope you choose suitable creams.

      Hi, jenifer1303

      Bumps on genitals get more itching and pain now. I'm trying to find out a product for my sensitive skin. There're lots of products, but I still haven't found which ones work best.

      If your bumps are more severe, you should ask doctor to diagnose and prescribe medications. As I know, famvir, valtrex and zovirax are antiviral drugs used to treat genital herpes and prevent outbreaks. You also apply prosurx if you don’t wanna take drugs. I and my classroom used to apply it, but it works depend on each individuals. It took me 5 days while my roommate only waited 3 days. Luckily, outbreaks haven’t recurred until now. It’s just my experiences that I’d like to share with you. Hope you find out suitable treatments.
