    Hi Ashley

    HSV2 loves growing on genitals but it can occasionally grow on the lips. Best avoid giving him oral sex if he has an outbreak. You should be safe enough between outbreaks though.

      I think it's if you only have an outbreak on your lips then you can transmit it to somebody else if you kissing on your lips. But I'm also not a doctor although I know many people that have herpes Symplex one and they still kiss their kids but I think they just consciously know that if they have an outbreak to not kiss them near their mouth

      You sound like your heart is breaking

      It's worth getting some perspective. There are millions of people carrying Herpes who are walking around enjoying fulfilling lives and in loving relationships. They just dont have big banners attached to them saying "I have Herpes" so you dont know.

      I found this site helpful when I was first diagnosed:
