Genital Herpes: Is usually caused by type ii of the herpes simplex viruses. The virus that causes cold sores is usually herpes simplex i. You can get ii in your oral area, as well as i in your genital area. You likely have antibodies against the type i virus because you already have the cold sore virus so it would probably be difficult to give yourself the virus in another location via oral sex.

GENITAL HERPES: By gs you mean genital herpes. Cold sore is caused by herpes type 1 most frequently but it can also be caused by hs type 2. So if your cold sore is caused by type2 only in that case you can get genital herpes genital herpes is only caused by hs type2 virus.
