Yes it can.
If a person with cold sores gives another person oral sex it can cause that person to develop genital herpes. Even though cold sores appear in the mouth area and genital herpes are in the genital area, they are part of the same virus - herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores are typically caused by herpes simplex virus 1, while genital herpes is typically caused by herpes simplex virus 2. I say "typically" though because both herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 can cause BOTH cold sores and genital herpes. I've actually read that about 30% of people with genital herpes has it caused by herpes simplex virus 1.
***Also, for EF MD claiming to be an "MD" he should know there are actually 8 different kinds of herpes simplex, not 2. Herpes simplex virus 3 is also known as chickenpox, which a lot of people don't know.

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/herpescures2015tkrK
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.

There are two types of herpes.
HSV 1 and HSV 2. HSV 2.
HSV- 2 is the one you want to watch out for.
HSV- 1 is thetype that develops cold sores on your mouth. By sucking on your partner or her sucking on you, HSV- 1 cannot infect you because it is a totally different type of virus. HSV- 2 is primarily an STD in the genitial region and only. I would still have protected sex anyway but i wouldn't worry about the herpes thing.

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.

If there became a sore on your mouth once you gave him oral intercourse then there an exceedingly severe risk he could have caught it, donning a condom minimizes the prospect of transmission while there's a sore seen yet i does no longer advise it as there continues to be a huge adequate risk, in case you haven't any longer have been given any sore seen then the prospect is quite low (10%) and in case you employ a condom that lowers it much greater so i might recommend to easily carry out oral in case you haven't any longer have been given a sore, ask to your companion ... i might tell them to flow get checked by a doctor to be on the risk-free area

Yes. Cold sores are a type of herpes virus and are contagious. Usually tho, it's mouth to mouth. If fluids from the sore come in contact with open skin or mucus membranes, it is potentially contagious.

Yep. If a person who has a cold sore gives oral sex to another person, the other person can catch herpes.
