Answers:
He will be fine kissing you...there is a risk if he does have oral that he may get mouth herpes/cold sores are you taking any suppressive drugs.?this will make the chance of passing it very low how long you have had the virus makes a big difference too as the longer you have had it the less chance there is of passing it without symptoms.
Asymptomatic shedding means that virus is present on the skin without causing any symptoms. If enough virus is being shed when direct skin contact occurs, a partner may become infected.
People who experience recurrent symptoms may also occasionally shed virus asymptomatically between recurrences. This is more likely in the week before and the week after a recurrence.
In people who get recurrences, asymptomatic shedding occurs on average for 2 per cent of the time for people with type 2 infection and 0.7per cent of the time for those with type 1.
The fewer recurrences a person has, the less chance there is of asymptomatic shedding.
Asymptomatic shedding tends to diminish over the years. It is more likely to be happening in the first year and much less probable after that.
The virus is most often transmitted during the first four months of a new relationship; however partners are often together for years without the virus passing from one to the other.Health Question & Answer

Kissing is fine to do, genital herpes, if you only have it down south and not on your mouth won't be transmitted just by kissing. There are things you can do to help prevent passing herpes onto your partner.
He could get it from oral sex if you have sings of an out break at the time he gives you oral sex. It's not too common to have genital herpes passed to the mouth but it's possible.
As long as you have no signs of an out break then him performing oral on you should be safe. After an out break you may want to wait a few days in case of viral shedding. Get to know your symptoms and tell your partner if he doesn't know that you have herpes. also let your partner know if you think your getting or have an out break in progress. You may want to use some kind of suppressive therapy, this will help to prevent you from passing herpes onto your partner.Health Question & Answer

Herpes is spread through skin-to-skin contact, not from bodily fluids.
also, while herpes is always contagious when the person is having an outbreak, it is also sometimes contagious (perhaps 10% of the time) when there are no symptoms present.
Oral herpes (herpes on your mouth) is very very common. Between 50% and 80% of adults have oral herpes - it is often caught in childhood from kissing relatives. It is so common that most people don't worry about it - although it is a good idea to avoid kissing people with an open sore on their mouth. Both because herpes is highly contagious, and because kissing someone with an open sore is kind of gross.
You can get genital herpes from someone who only has oral herpes - but only through oral sex.
Tell him you have it! Deal with it like adults and be safe!! use condoms!!Health Question & Answer
