I am currently in a lesbian relationship as well. I contracted genital herpes through oral sex from my partner. She has had cold sores, but when present, we are never intimate until it has gone. My doctor said it was through viral shedding when she wasn't showing symptoms. I was put on Valtrex and went through an outbreak. If I received it from her, I'm assuming we have the same strand, correct? We are both pretty upset. We felt extremely limited in what we are able to do to one another. I was wondering if oral sex was possible without a dental dam if she already has oral herpes. Obviously, it would be when sores aren't present. Would it have any effect on one another or make it worse? Would she be able to use her fingers on me and just wash her hands after? I'm just confused on the transfer part of it. I'm aware I'm at risk to still receive it on my mouth and her to her vagina. We just still want to keep each other happy and satisfied. My apologies if this was graphic at all. I just need some answers.
