It sounds like symtoms for your outbreak. Are you taking any meidcation? maybe its a side affect or your meds? Call you doctor if it gets really bad.

Yes he can, But remember herpes is spread by skin to skin contact. Not bodily fluids.

Herpes can be spread through skin-to-skin contact or by contact between mucosal surfaces at any time the virus is in its active phase: Viral shedding deposits HSV on the skin or a mucous membrane. Contact with another individual's skin allows virus to spread and begin the job of situating itself in the nervous system of a new host. Herpes virus infection is most often transmitted "unwittingly". That is, from people who do not know they have it or if they know they have it from exposure at times when the virus is shed asymptomatically in saliva or genital secretions. Most of us acquire HSV-1 in childhood by kissing from close adult relatives. Genital herpes is usually acquired through sexual intercourse of some type.
