Hi Terri, I have been diagnosed with GHSV2 since last year. I know after the first few months your body develops antibodies that make it difficult to pass HSV to another area (ie OHSV2). I have a tendency to bite my lips a lot when I’m anxious, sometimes until they bleed. I also really enjoy oral sex with my partner. My question is, does the antibody rule still apply if I have a cut on my lip? Or am I way more likely to develop OHSV2 because the herpes would be directly exposed to me orally via the cut? Thank you

I’m glad you asked. The cut doesn’t make it more likely that you would acquire HSV 2 orally, no. If you were diagnosed last year, and he is also infected with HSV 2, your infection is well established and if I were you, I would take this off my worry list. If by some rare circumstance, you did acquire this orally, it would look just like a cold sore and likely not recur. Enjoy your sexual relationship and try not to be concerned about this.
