spreading of herpes if already infected Posted: 05-29-08 21:37pm
I know that you can have genital herpes on
your mouth and vise versa. My question is
that if my boyfriend and I already have
genital herpes, and I preform oral sex,
can i also outbreak on my mouth? Or,
because I already have the infection, it
won't matter?

HS2 is not as easily transferred to the
mouth...
HSV1 which lives in the neck, commonly
known as oral herpes, which is not as
active as HSV2(lives in the bottom of the
spine), is very easy to transmit to the
vagina through oral sex.
While it is unlikely, I cannot say it is
impossible. It is rare though.

I guess you could have an outbreak on your
mouth...its a possibility. I dont think
its a big one though. My hubby and I both
have genital herpes and we enjoy oral sex
too. We have yet to develope oral sores
from each other. We have been together for
nearly 2 1/2 years. So maybe maybe not.
Since you both have it I wouldnt worry too
much. just dont have any kind of sex IF
there is a sore anywhere.
