If someone has a cold sore on their lips, it is called Herpes and it can be caught from another person. If a person has herpes on the genital area and you were to kiss there you would also have a chance of catching herpes. Hope this answers your question.

Yes you can. Make sure that you don't touch your b/f if you have one or anywhere around his area. I get cold sores all the time. My doctor told me not to do any oral sex with my b/f because he may catch herpies. be careful they are contagious and other people can catch it ( drinking from the same cup, kissing, touching it)

as a person with herpes (unfortunately) i should know that it is possible to have it and yor g/f cannot. you could have had it for a period of time until something triggered it. Stress, anxiety, a cold anything. the best thing to do is when you have an outbreak DO NOT HAVE SEX. this will decrease the chance of her catching it. granted it is not easy to tell someone that you have that but if the person cares abotu you they will understand. go onto websites to give yourself better knowledge about it. hey if you have any questions feel free to ask them. dont be afraid to ask, that is the only way to find things out!! it isnt that much easier for a woman to see than a man. it all depends on how u handle certain situations. my stress may cause me to outbreak more than your or vice versa. \n\nloveless816@yahoo.com if you need to ask anything.\n\n\nP.S. it can lay dormant in ANYONE, not just women

Yes it is possible that they could have herpes for decades and you would not get it. \n\nGenerally herpes only spreads when there is an outbreak, but it can also spread when an outbreak is going to occur (a tingling itchy feeling where the sore is going to appear).\n\nThe previous poster was wrong when they mentioned you need not worry about oral herpes. Oral herpes can spread to the genitals, and vice versa, during oral sex. \n\nThere is nothing that you need to be fearful about as long as you guys are careful when you touch in those areas. \n\nAnd really, you'd be surprised how many people have herpes anyhow. It really is not big deal in certain countries, as it is so widespread. And hey, it's just a cold sore and a slight decrease in immune functions...it could be way worse. \n\nMy last gf had it and we were together for years with no problems. If you honestly love this person, this really shouldn't be an issue at all. Hell, even if you just want to shack up with them for awhile it shouldn't be an issue hehe.

Cold sores appear on your lips are they are usually pretty big, not like a small blister in your mouth. They also usually don't pop and go away. They can scab when they open up and it can take a while to heal. I don't think you had a cold sore, it doesn't sound like it anyway. \n\nBut yes, theoretically if you touch a cold sore and rub your genital area you can get genital herpes. It is REALLY rare to get it that way, but technically you could. If you have a herpes blisters and need to touch it for some reason you need to wash your hands really good after you touch it. You shouldn't be touching the sores anyway unless you are putting medication on them. The more you touch them, they more they can spread.

Unfortunately, the herpes virus lives in the skin at all times.  The chances of contracting the virus increases if sores are present, but there is still a chance when there are no sores.  \n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/skin_and_beauty/hw31979.asp

It's a long shot, but yes, it is possible.  If you have breaks or tears in your skin, and she has open sores in her mouth, the virus can be transmitted.

No- there is no way to get herpes if your partner doesn't have it.  Your partner should be tested though to make sure he doesn't have it-  just because someone doesn't have sores, doesn't mean they don't have it.

You were so misinformed\n\n*HSV-1 is not hereditary\n\n*You can only spread it by kissing, or drinking from the same glass if you have an open sore.\n\n*Once the sore is dried up and clear, you are no longer contagious. \n\n*Your children will only get it if you kiss them or drink after them from the same glass, when you have an open sore.\n\n*You are not contagious to people on the street.\n\n*You can pass HSV-1 to the genital area by performing oral sex if you have an open sore, so wait until it is dried and cleared away.\n\n*You don't think you can get Pink eye from HSV-1, but you can with gonorrhea, chlamydia, and other bacterial infections.\n\n*The one and only thing you can do with a flair up is WASH YOUR HANDS after you touched the infected area to prevent spreading it.\n\nIf you want more information regarding HSV-1 speak with your doctor.

yes, herpes can be contracted from fluid secretions. any contact that you may have with toilet seat "left-overs" can enter through membranes on your bottom.

Yes, you can spread herpes even if you never have any symptoms. \nThere are cases where a person can have the herpes virus and show little or no symptoms, often referred to as asymptomatic herpes.\n\nIt is possible for a person to carry the virus without knowing that they have it, in fact, up to 80% of people who are infected with HSV-2 show no signs of the infection. So it is possible for a person to unwittingly transmit the infection to their partner.\n\nThe symptoms of the infection vary greatly between individuals. It might be totally unnoticeable in one person, but cause severe blistering in their partner.\n\nThe herpes virus can lay dormant for various time periods, and may be in your system for a time period before any symptoms begin to show. The usual incubation period of the virus (time before any symptoms show) is approximately two to twelve days after the initial exposure to the virus.\n\nThe virus can remain inactive in the body for long periods. Most of the time when Herpes sores are not present on the skin the virus remains in a latent (inactive) state in the central nervous system, where it does no damage.\n\nWhen the virus reactivates (wakes up), it travels nerve paths to the surface of the skin, sometimes causing an outbreak of symptoms.

Yes you can. It is possible to move the virus from the location of the outbreak to other places on the body by touching the sores. Type 1 and 2 can spread to other places on the body. The eyes, moouth, genitals, and nose are the most senitive places because they are mucus membranes. But you can also get it on your finger tips called HEPATIC WITLOW.

It is very likely to get vaginal herpes from giving oral sex.  If you have a sort on your vagina, it could be a vaginal wart or a sexually transmitted disease.  Go to your physcain and get checked right away!  Avoid having sexual intercourse due to the possibility of spreading it to someone else.  \n\nIf you are giving oral sex, you can get sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS!  Practice safe sex and use condoms!!  There is also the possibility of getting or giving sexually transmitted diseases during a kiss.  Be careful!\n\nI hope that this helps you!

Yes there is a chance you will get it if your partner has it. \nI just found out after almost 4 years of marriage I have genital herpes. My husband and I dont practice safe sex however I take my medication daily that knocks his chance of getting it down by 50%, thats not to say he doesnt have it and shows no symptoms. 70% of people who have HSV has a partner that shows no signs. Get a blood test before you sleep with them to make sure you indeed dont have herpes. 1 in 5 people have it. \nCondoms are not 100% either. Herpes can be on the testes, buttocks,inner theighs. \nBe as careful as you can, but there are no guarntees.

sure you can!,  Anything can become infected.  If you have a red area, warm to touch, painful and its spreading go to the doctors. You may need meds.  Good Luck.
