A female Ireland age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Ok I woke up this morning with the familiar tingling pulse of a cold sore. I've always gotten cold sores but much less frequently as an adult. My boyfriend has never ever had one.

Any way my predicament is that I performed oral sex on my boyfriend last night. I did not have any symptoms of the cold sore when I did this before bed but obviously it was coming.

Does anyone know if I accidentally passed on HSV2 to him through my HSV1?

Normally we are very careful not to kiss or do such things when I have a cold sore for obvious reasons...

Tisha-1 agony auntCan oral sex transmit herpes? Yes. http://consults.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/28/can-oral-sex-spread-herpes/

Probably best to talk to your doctor: http://www.patient.co.uk/doctor/herpes-simplex-oral

P.S. If you often have cold sores you should discuss it with your doctor.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy life!

person12345 agony auntHSV1 and HSV2 are different viruses. You can't give him HSV2 if you have HSV1. It is rare but possible for HSV1 to cause genital herpes. In all likelihood he already carries the virus without getting sores. The vast majority of people (70%) carry the virus in their body, but only 25% of them get the sores. In addition, while possible to transmit the virus without a sore, it's very rare.

In short it's VERY unlikely you gave him genital herpes. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do except wait to see if he develops sores. There are tests to see if he is infected, but there is a 70% chance he has it from somewhere else already.

I understand the incubation period for oral herpes is two to 12 days. You only felt the tingle, and not actually having an outbreak. You should take your questions to your physician.

You require professional advice.
