Is it possible to get herpes if your partner gives you oral sex(w/condom)?

Answer 1

The most common herpes viruses are herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Usually HSV-1 causes cold sores or fever blisters on or around the lips and HSV-2 affects areas below the waist, causing genital herpes. But both HSV-1 and HSV-2 viruses can cause herpes outbreaks in either area. Other common herpes infections include chicken pox and shingles which are caused by the herpes zoster virus.

1 out of 5 people (teenage and over) are infected with the genital herpes virus
Genital herpes is caused by a contagious virus that spreads through intimate skin-to-skin contact. The disease is widespread in the United States. It is estimated that at least 45 million people have genital herpes. That means that 1 out of 5 people (teenage and over) are infected with the herpes virus. Anyone who is sexually active, even with just one person, can get genital herpes. There are up to 1 million new cases each year, and, in fact, genital herpes is now more common than diseases like diabetes and asthma. Once you have the virus in your body, there is no known way to get rid of it.

Up to 90% of people with genital herpes have not been diagnosed and are unaware of their condition. Many of these people have symptoms they don't recognize or that they confuse with something else. Others may not have genital herpes symptoms at all, but can still spread the disease.

Answer 2

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.
