Yes you can. If someone with cold sores (herpes simplex virus 1) gives you oral sex it could cause you to contact genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus 1.

You could also get it from having sex with a person who has genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus 1.

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) is typically cold sores but it can also cause genital herpes. HSV2 is typically genital herpes but can also cause cold sores.

I have personally had genital herpes caused by HSV1 for over 6 years, but I have never had a cold sore.

in the beginning, it incredibly is incredibly worth noting that over ninety% of circumstances of genital herpes are HSV-2. Has it been somewhat desperate that his particular case is HSV-a million? Secondly, from a rapid look returned to my Nursing college textual content cloth books, I found out this approximately HSV-a million: "Recurrence ot the lesions, oftentimes interior the area OF THE preliminary an infection, might ensue every time the virus is reactivated." So, it kind of feels that if/whilst the HSV-a million virus reactivates on your physique, if there has been yet another exposure, there's a threat which you will get a genital an infection as nicely. My suggestion: do no longer evaluate your self secure basically beacause you have oral herpes! and make valuable that he has been examined to confirm HSV1 or 2 - because of the fact this all may well be a moot element if he has a diverse tension of the virus! good success and BE secure!

HSV1 can cause HSV2 and vice versa. It can spread to other new areas by auto-infection (by hand).
Herpes simplex viruses (human herpesviruses 1 and 2) commonly cause recurrent infection affecting the skin, mouth, lips, eyes, and genitals. Common severe infections include encephalitis, meningitis, neonatal herpes, and, in immunocompromised patients, disseminated infection. Mucocutaneous infections cause clusters of small painful vesicles on an erythematous base. Diagnosis is clinical; laboratory confirmation by culture, PCR, direct immunofluorescence, or serology can be performed. Treatment is symptomatic; antiviral therapy with acyclovir, valacyclovir, or famciclovir is helpful for severe infections and, if begun early, in recurrent or primary infections.
