even after he's completely healed and there are no outbreaks, the virus can be spread (roughly 36 days out of the year).
HSV-1 and HSV-2 are no long exclusively oral or genital due to the prevalance of oral sex "these days," so my advice is to always use protection (condoms/dental dams) no matter what's going on.
definitely talk to a doctor, get tested, and consider treatment. i'm just repeating what i heard in lecture today.
