I gave a ******** to my boyfriend...there was no fluid exchange and even though I have Herpes (blood test 10 years ago after being raped) I have never had a cold sore or symptoms. Was this safe?

.Once you have genital herpes, no matter how few outbreaks you get, you may be at risk of spreading the disease, even when you’re not having an outbreak. Although the virus is most contagious during an outbreak, it can be active on the surface of the skin without showing any signs or causing any symptoms. There are three key steps you can take to help protect your partner:

1. Do not have sexual contact when you get a genital herpes outbreak or think you are about to get one.
2. Always use a condom when you have sex, even between genital herpes outbreaks.
3. Ask your doctor about daily Herpes medications like Valtrex, Acyclovir, Zovirax or Famvir, to reduce the risk of spreading genital herpes. Safer sex practices should be used with daily therapy.

The herpes blood tests from ten years ago were highly unspecific (chicken pox would give false positive results). I would recommend you get tested again. There's a newer test called HerpeSelect that can differentiate between herpes types 1 and 2. Type 1 traditionally causes oral herpes, and type 2 traditionally causes genital herpes. About 60% of the popualtion has type 1, whereas 20% has type 2. So if you are carrying type 1, chances are, you got it nonsexually.

Herpes does NOT require fluid exchange for transmission. You only need to have skin contact from whatever part of your body is shedding the virus, to some hospitable site on your partner's body (e.g., from your mouth to his genitals, or your genitals to his genitals, etc.). The censor blocked the name of the sex act you are describing, so I'll have to cover the bases.

If you want to assume that you are carrying a strain of herpes, then you should know any oral-to-gental contact and genital-to-genital contact can be a transmission risk. no penetration or fluids necessary. To play safely, use condoms everytime. Dental dams are useful for covering your genitals during receptive oral sex. That's a sheet of latex that you can buy from a medical supply shop, or you can cut open a condom. Otherwise, nonmicrowavable cling film works, too.
