Although I don't get many frequently anymore since I changed my diet and started taking a heavy dosevof lysine, my boyfriend is concerned about me giving him head due to shedding.

He is afraid that even though I did not have a coldsore, that he will still contract the virus due to the shedding that can occur even when there is no sore visable.

I am wondering what everyone does?

I have not given him head since november, and i've only gotten one cold sore since november. He will not let me anywhere near his penis, and only just recently started allowing himself to go down on me.

We are aware of not to do anything sexual during an outbreak and are only looking to know about shedding.
