I'm really confused about something I had oral herpes for the first time about three weeks ago, and I can't figure out how I got it. The blisters have disappeared and the skin's healed, but I'm worried about whether it's safe to have sex, oral sex, or kiss my partner now since she hasn't been infected. Can you help?
