Is it true that having oral sex with someone when you have a cold sore (fever blister) will give that person genital herpes?

Cold sores (herpes simplex virus one) causes about 30% of primary genital herpes infections. So yes, you can get genital herpes if someone who has cold sores gives the person oral sex.
Also, there is no herpes complex virus. Herpes simplex virus one is mainly cold sores (but it can cause genital herpes). Herpes simplex virus two is genital herpes (but it can sometimes cause cold sores).
Tiffany is somewhat correct. It's true you can get herpes by an open sore, but you can also get it by a closed sore, or no sores at all. I've read that 70% of people get herpes when their partner had no visible signs or symptoms (like sores). That's how I got it!

I got clinically diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about six years ago, when I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this video everything changed https://tr.im/herpescures2o15SVHU
Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the hsv from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the man of my dreams. This method provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to enable you too by sharing this with the whole World.

I got diagnosed with herpes (type 2) about five years ago, when I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I understand a lot of young ladies will say this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl that has sores round her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/3uYhB everything got better.
Not only was I able to eliminate all remnants of the herpes virus from my body in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This system gave me back the opportunity to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the World.

Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus. There are two types of herpes, they are known as herpes simplex virus type 1 (H.S.V.1) and type 2 (H.S.V.2). Type 1 most commonly affects the lips and mouth, they usually appear as coldsores. Type 2 generally affects the genital and anal area. Genital herpes always used to be caused by type 2 but as more people are having oral sex, type 1 is also becoming common in the genital and anal area. These viruses are essentially identical and are caused by the same virus.
The herpes simplex virus is one of mankind’s most common infections, in fact it was known in Roman times and even mentioned by Shakespeare in Romeo and Juliet.
A large number of the adult population carry this virus and once infected the virus remains dormant within the individual for life, though it may occasionally become active again (recurrence).
How is genital herpes passed on?
Herpes is very contagious (the word herpes means to creep) and is passed on through skin contact with an infected person's sores or blisters. The virus will then affect the area where it enters the body, for example, if you have oral sex with someone who has a coldsore on their mouth, you are in danger of catching genital herpes. The virus can be passed on in the following ways:
Kissing.
Vaginal sex.
Oral sex.
Anal sex.
Hand transfer (e.g. masturbation).
The virus is highly infectious when sores and blisters are present, the risk of you passing the infection on or catching the infection between episodes is much lower. However, on rare occasions the virus can be passed on when no sores or blisters are present.
What can I do to avoid catching genital herpes?
Do not kiss a partner when they have coldsores around the mouth.
Avoid oral sex when a partner has mouth or genital sores.
Even with a condom genital or anal sex should be avoided when genital sores are present.
Never use saliva to wet contact lenses, if you have sores around your mouth.
Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after touching the affected area.

I know the feelings of helplessness, isolation and real longing to be rid of herpes. I really didn’t think I would ever be rid of the virus. I thought that I would have to live the rest of my life without any lasting intimacy.
I was lost in a sea of despair. This was because my doctor told me that I would need to be on drugs for the rest of my life. He also said to forget about ever having sex with anyone ever again. After hearing this I was very angry. There had to be something I could do. So I decided to see if I could find another way to deal with my herpes.
After a lot of research I decided to read Sarah Wicox's book "Get Rid of Herpes" ( also available in electronic format here: http://herpestreatment.kyma.info )
The book details a unique method of actually killing viral pathogens responsible for the herpes virus as well as a quick and natural method for healing herpes blisters. After reading the book and taking action in just two days the blisters were gone. I haven't had an outbreak in 2 years.
Modern medicine is mostly all about maintenance of the disease because big pharmaceutical companies are calling the shots. Hooking people on pharmaceuticals means recurring money the big drug companies. They, in turn, pay the doctors to keep writing prescriptions, Don’t look for a real help here.
