Are oral HSV and genital HSV transferrable?

My girlfriend and I are considering having oral sex. We are in a steady relationship, and have talked about safe oral sex practicies, and the risk of STDs (specificaly HSV-1 and 2). My question is, if we are both oral HSV-1 positive (just the occasional cold sore), can she preform oral sex on me without me contracting the genital strand of HSV-1. If I can contract genital HSV-1 from oral sex with her, what are the chances, statistics would be very helpul.

                                                                                                      Thank You: Confused211

Answer #1

yes you can get an std from oral… if she’s giving you oral you might want to use a condom… sorry I dont know the stats but I wouldnt risk it, also try and wait till your symptomless…

Answer #2

I don’t know statistics but I suggest if you do want to have oral sex then use a condom if you are scared of contracting a STD. They have flavored condoms which would be perfect anyways good luck hopefully things work out

Answer #3

Yes ski123 you can, gonorrhea of the mouth and throat are well known, as are oral herpes 2 (the bad herpes) and others.

Confused211, you can get the HSV-1 in the genital area, most commonly during an outbreak - visible or about-to-erupt cold sores. Reduce your risk by avoiding oral sex during these times or use a plain or flavored condom. For cunnilingus cut off the tip then cut lengthwise and unfold.

Answer #4
