Absolutely.

Cold sores (also known as fever blisters or oral herpes) can be spread to the genital area by oral sex. If a person has a cold sore and gives another person oral sex, it's possible for the person "receiving" to develop genital herpes.

Herpes can be spread from the mouth to the genital area and vice versa through oral sex.

Cold sores are usually caused by herpes simplex virus 1, while genital herpes are usually caused by herpes simplex virus 2. However, BOTH cold sores and genital herpes can be caused by either herpes simplex virus 1 or 2.

Take care!

The only thing I would add to what Alli said is:

If your partner is already infected with HSV-1 on the mouth then the antibodies they carry will protect them from getting HSV-1 genital herpes. If they don't already have an HSV-1 infection than they are at risk for genital HSV-1 infection.

In my opinion, HSV-1 can be more life threatening than HSV-2 infections. There are way more possible complications of HSV-1 infection than HSV-2 (however HSV-2 tends to have more painful lesions and is more likely to cause outbreaks). The reason I bring this up is that HSV-1 is more socially acceptable and thought of as not very important despite the possibility of major life threatening complications, while HSV-2 has a lot of social stigma and other than outbreaks (which totally suck) has very few possible life threatening complications.

definite that's, fever blisters and chilly sores are in many cases brought about via the oral herpes virus (HSV1). in case you have not had oral intercourse or sexual intercourse yet then that's maximum not truly HSV2 and that form could be yet isn't in many cases transmitted to the mouth. HSV2 could be exceeded to the mouth yet having this take place isn't hassle-free. lots of persons do not understand lots approximately it and that they are very bowled over while they pay attention the information that they are helpful for any style of herpes. Herpes has a detrimental stigma around it, they immediately think of that's the std form, because of the fact many people think of you may desire to have intercourse with a view to get herpes (with oral hepres it is not consistently actual). while that's in straightforward terms HSV1 on the mouth that's often exceeded in the time of baby hood. you may tell them that they've oral herpes, and tell them you will get this form without ever having intercourse.

yes it is - but if the person already has HSV (orally) the chances that they will catch it from your blister are much lower than if they did not.
