If I give him herpes, can it get in my mouth?
I was recently diagnosed with genital herpes. I am on daily suppressive therapy, and always use condoms. If I have sex with my current partner, and by some chance give him herpes (since it is possible even with a condom..thats how I got it), and then I give him head, am I essentially giving myself oral herpes? Like if he gets it genitally from us having sex, and then basically he gives it back to me orally. Is that even possible to pass herpes genitally to oral in that way? Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: STD Information?
Yes. And it is because of that very fact that I strove to learn what my own bodys personal messages to me are when I am in that "shedding" stage. (I answered your other question)
What I have found over time is that a day or two before hand, there have been subtle signs for me. I have not found anything on this anywhere else.
But what happens to me is that one particular spot on my genitals feels more tender or sensitive to the touch with my fingers such as when I wipe myself after peeing, or the skin feels chafed as if clothing rubbed against the spot and is making it feel slightly irritated, but theres no pain or outbreak yet. I take note of the spot and usually about a day and a half later there is a visible sore beging to show.
What I do when I feel the beginning chafed tenderness feeling, is I tell the husband so we don't do any oral sex or other kind for me. If we do anything at all, I give him oral sex since I don't have the oral herpes. But we're perfectly fine waiting until it goes through its course.
