Transmission of herpes

I have read Terri"s book. I have looked on various web sites... All of the language is confusing. I have genital herpes and am on a daily 400 mg dose of Acyclovir. I know I can give my partner the virus if he gives me oral sex. CAN I give it to him if I give him oral sex? I need a straight forward answer please!

No. You have genital herpes; the virus is located in your genitals, not your oral cavity. You cannot pass this on to your partner by you providing him oral sex.
