Hi. I have HSV on my organs. I have a few questions. I am in a homosexual relationship. How not to infect a girl?

  1. Can I use my hand? cleaning supplies are kept.
  2. Will the mouth mask protect my girlfriend during oral sex?
  3. Since I have hsv on my genitals, can I have oral sex with her, cunnilingus?
  4. Can I get infected by touching me? I don't want to infect her. Any tips for safe sex?

    Hi there! 1. Yes, you are completely safe to use your hands, just remember to wash before and after and not to touch your genital area before touching hers. 2&3. There's always a risk with whether using protection or not, however since you have HSV below the belt and if you've never gotten a cold sore, you should not have to worry about spreading the virus via oral sex. 4. My safe tips would be to, wash your hands frequently when sexually active, before and after or inbetween. Don't have sex during an active outbreak. Like i said before, there's always a chance of shedding the virus, lesions present or not, that's just a risk you and your partner have to be willing to take.
