A person can pass herpes whether they have blisters or not.
Fever blisters, or cold sores, are usually spread to another person by just kissing them.
Cold sores can also be spread to the genital area by touching them and then touching the genital area, or by a person with cold sores giving a person oral sex.
Colds sores are generally herpes simplex virus 1, while genital herpes is generally herpes simplex virus 2. Both herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 can cause BOTH cold sores and genital herpes though.

Your "fever blisters" have to be caused by herpes for it to become genital herpes. Also, you most likely won't transfer it by simply touching it. The herpes would have to come into contact with broken skin or the urethra to infect you. Why you would smear puss on your penis is a different issue.

as long as you come in contact with the blisters there is a possibility that you may contract the virus. however you can get herpes from an infected person without them having a breakout. it is easier to get it with the puss but you can get it without them. visit your doctor or google herpes and you will get tons of info. good luck practise safe sex.

You don't have to see blisters or anything to get herpes, especially from a female. It could be lying in wait for you on her cervix. True story.
