If my boyfriend has HSV1 and doesn't have any cold sores visable, can he give me HSV down thereif he goes down on me even though he has no sores at that time? Can it only be transmitted (HSV1) if sores are visable? I know that HSV2 can be trasmitted without signs or symptoms.

HSV 1 isn't necessarily the one you get on your lips and HSV 2 isn't necessarily the one you find below the belt. They are 2 different types. Way back when, HSV 1 was found more above the waist and HSV 2 was found below. But with more people being involved with oral sex, both types are now found in both places. HSV 1 won't be as painful if it's on your mouth, but if you have it genitally, you might have a tougher time with things. Likewise with HSV 2... it's more 'at home' below your belt. If you have it on your lips, your symptoms might be more severe.
Yes, you very well can pass this virus on without any symptoms present. This is called asymptomatic shedding. You can only pass herpes when you are shedding the virus, but you never know when that is... it can be during an outbreak and it can be when you feel completely fine. It's a good idea to refrain from any sexual contact when you do have outbreaks just incase... but it's still not 100%. Also, using condoms isn't 100% effective because they only cover a particular area of the penis. If the man is shedding from a different area that the condom does not cover, he can still pass on the virus.

I got diagnosed with genital herpes (type 2) about 6 years ago, while I was still in college and had a dumb one-night stand. I understand lots of young ladies will declare this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive 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 hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with someone who has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/3OWnW everything changed.
Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the hsv from my body in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just last week, in front of everybody in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This program provided the opportunity to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the whole World.

Both 1 and 2 can spread through contact with another person even if there are no signs of outbreaks.

1 and 2 are basicly the same thing...it's socety thats views them differently.
1 is a little less contageous than 2 and spreds less easily. But they are basicly the same virus.
