Absolutely!
If a person has cold sores (herpes simplex virus 1) and gives another person oral sex, that person can develop genital herpes.
Herpes simplex virus 1 is typically cold sores while herpes simplex virus 2 is typically genital herpes. I say "typically" because both herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 can cause BOTH cold sores and genital herpes.
And remember, a person can pass herpes to another person whether they currently have sores present or not! In fact, according to Valtrex, 70% of people with genital herpes got it from a partner who was showing no signs or symptoms of the virus (like an outbreak). That's how I got it!

My best friend has had genital herpes for about eight months now, and it's been really rough. She's had about 7 outbreaks. Everywhere I read it says it stops flaring up so much after time, but its not getting less frequent for her. She's been on Antiviral meds the whole time, too. She also has type 1 diabetes which she has had her whole life, which really weakens her immune system. Will it ever get better?
But after a friend share this video everything has changed.
Natural Safe Herpes Remedy?

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.

I was tested positive for herpes approximately 4 years back, when I was still in college and had a stupid one night stand. I am sure a lot of women will say this but I swear I never did that sort of thing. I jus made a mistake that one time and, suddenly, it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was thinking I would never meet men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl who has blisters around her you-know-what? But after a friend share this video https://tr.im/DgoNo everything has changed. Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than fifteen days, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met my soul mate and I'm so happy to say that just last week, in fornt of many people in a restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This program gave me back the chance to be happy, and to experience true love.

YES-
How do you get Herpes?
Herpes is spread by direct skin to skin contact. Unlike a flu virus that you can get through the air, herpes spreads by direct contact, that is, directly from the site of infection to the site of contact. For example, if you have a cold sore and kiss someone, you can transfer the virus to their mouth. Similarly, if you have active genital herpes and have vaginal or anal intercourse, you can give your partner genital herpes. Finally, if you have a cold sore and put your mouth on your partners genitals (oral sex), you can give your partner genital herpes.
It is the gift that keeps on giving- be very careful!

Looks like some real goofballs are answering tonight. First of all you are talking two different types of herpes so no, you do not get genital herpes from an individual with a cold sore. That is the same as you can't get chicken pox from someone with the mumps, same idea.
