Can genital herpes spread if you kiss
someone who has it? After you kiss this
person--or make out with them really--can
you spread it to someone else who doesn't
have it by giving them oral?
Many thanks.

If the person has genital herpies you can
not get that from just kissing. You CAN
get it from giving the person oral sex, or
having unprotected sex with them. Even a
slight chance you can get it too with
protected sex. Not all BC is 100%. I don't
have a lot of information on herpies of
the mouth, but i know it's possible, and
think it's a totally different strain of
virus. ( i think)

Yes, that I knew, but there are a few bits
I'm not sure of. I'll restate my question
and add a new one for clarity.
Say there are three people, one has
herpes, two don't. If one person who
-doesn't- have it kisses someone who
-does-, and then the person who -doesn't-
have it gives oral to the other person who
-doesn't- have it; will the person
receiving oral get genital herpes?
Another question. Can the person who does
have herpes give oral to people who
don't?
I do know though that herpes of the mouth
is very very common, and is a different
yet similar virus to genital herpes.

if they have genital herpes then NO you
cant get it by kissing
however lets say one person has genital
herpes and then another person who doesnt
have it gives them oral...
then the person who gave oral goes and
gives oral or kisses another non infected
person then yes it can be transmitted
however genital herpes cannot be
transmitted from kissing someone with
genital herpes UNLESS they have oral
herpes as well

Um. Yeah, but the person with genital
herpes won't be the one receiving oral.
They'll just be the one kissing other
people on the mouth. Ugh. I feel like you
missed my question too.. but sorry if I'm
just not reading your answer right.
Are you saying that if someone has both
types of herpes then genital herpes can be
transmitted by kissing alone? Hrm.

Ok, thanks, I see now. Last question. Can
someone with genital herpes give oral
without giving the virus? I understand now
you can get it through giving oral to
someone who has it.

Sounds like some big orgy to me But can i ask a
more serious question. I don't know whos
with who, but if you are one of those whos
why would you be messing with someone with
herpies? I wouldn't even want to take that
risk.

Well, there's a lot you can do without
genitals at all that's still fun and
intament. Many people have genital herpes
too (Between 1:4 to 1:5 if the data I got
was right).
I'm not going to let someone's condition
make them less of a person or less of
someone I like; I just might be more
careful.

I understand what you are saying, but
unless i'm going to be with that person
for the rest of my life i wouldn't put
myself at risk of getting it. Everyone is
different, and i hope the best for ya.

Yeah, you have a good point. I'm not too
worried that things will go that far, but
at least I have a better understanding and
know I can at least make out. I just had
other questions, too, out of curiosity.

to answer your question no if a person
with genital herpes gives oral he will not
pass it on
however if they have sex then its
possible
