can mouth cold sores be contagious as a STD form of herpes during oral sex?

Answer 1

Yes. I have read 30% of people with genital herpes got it from herpes simplex virus 1 (cold sores). If a person has cold sores and gives another person oral sex, that person can contract genital herpes. Cold sores are VERY contagious especially if a person currently has a sore.

It's also possible for a person to get cold sores from giving a person with genital herpes oral sex.

Herpes can be spread from the lips to the genitals and from the genitals to the lips.

***Also, herpes can be spread whether the person is on an outbreak or not. My fiance (boyfriend at the time) contracted genital herpes from me about 2 months into our relationship. I hadn't had an oubreak in almost 2 years! I'm not sure where junglamatical got his 1-3% transmission rate from, but it is just completely wrong! In fact, according to Valtrex (one of the leading manufacturers of herpes medication), 70% of people with genital herpes got it from their partner when they were showing NO signs or symptoms of the virus. That is A LOT more than 1-3%.

I got identified with genital herpes (type 2) about 4 yrs ago, when I was still in college and had a silly one-night stand. I know a lot of girls say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The worst part was feeling I could never date other men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone who has sores around her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/O82qN everything changed.

Not only was I able to eliminate all remnants of the herpes virus from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This program provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience true love again. Now I want to help others by sharing this story.

Contrary to popular belief, oral sex is not a completely safe alternative to vaginal or anal sex. Chlamydia, human papillomavirus (HPV), gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis (multiple strains), and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) — including HIV — can be transmitted through oral sex.[14]. However transmission of HIV through fellatio or cunnilingus is relatively rare. Any kind of direct contact with body fluids of a person infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) should be avoided. In 2005, a research study at the College of Malmö in Sweden suggested that performing unprotected oral sex on a person infected with HPV might increase the risk of oral cancer .[15] The risk from most of these types of infection, however, is generally considered far lower than that associated with vaginal or anal sex.

Furthermore, oral sex should be avoided when either partner has wounds or open sores on the genitals or mouth, or bleeding gums in the mouth, or has recently brushed, flossed, undergone dental work, or eaten crunchy foods such as potato chips, all of which can cause small scratches in the lining of the mouth. These wounds, even when they are microscopic, increase the chances of contracting STDs that can be transmitted orally under these conditions. Such contact can also lead to more mundane infections from common bacteria and viruses found in, around and secreted from the genital regions. Because of this, many medical professionals advise the use of condoms in the performance of fellatio (flavoured condoms are available for this purpose) and the use of plastic or latex sheets (dental dams or ordinary plastic wrap) for cunnilingus, although the latter has failed to achieve the same level of widespread use as condoms.

Answer 7

Cold Sores (Herpes Simplex 1) is different than Genital Herpes (Simplex 2). You can pass both types of herpes through skin to skin contact. So if you have a cold sore and have oral, you can pass Simplex 1 to the genital area, but it does not usually create the blister symptoms in that area. Genital Herpes on the other hand can sometimes be spread to areas other than the Genitals. Besides genital to genital skin contact, Genital Herpes can also be transmitted onto the hand, mouth, and thighs. See more informaiton on the website below.
