Herpes Doctor

i found out i have herpes a couple months ago. but the thing is its on my upper outer thigh. how could this happen? Did a test and it said it was the hsv-2. Can i spread this to my partner by having unprotected sex? even though its not on my genitals? i am very confused about this. i have only ever had two out breaksd, first one about a year and a half ago, but it just came up like little bites, then the other outbreak was a couple months ago but it was blisters and alot of redness around it and very very sore.
i havent had any symptoms since. So can i spread this by unprotected sex? please help :(
