I have been diagnosed with oral herpes. I love my partner a lot and I do not want to spread it to him. A doctor told me that I can kiss him if I don't have open sores, but I read on google that there is a still a possibility that I can pass it to him. Please let me know how we can have a good and safe sexual life even though I have herpes.

Hi.. HSV-1 and HSV-2 are highly contagious—even the slightest touch during an outbreak can cause the virus to spread. Skin to Skin contact, genital contact, and oral contact can all cause viral transmission. Practicing safe sex and using dental dams or condoms may help protect you and your sexual partner.
