A member asked:
Can a cut on your mouth contract hsv1 if giving oral to a male?

Yes: Hsv-1 is a virus transmitted by blood or saliva. I would be more worried about your partners history because you can contact hpv or HIV or even hcv.

Definetely: Herpes simplex is divided into two types: HSV type 1 and HSV type 2. Both of these conditions can affect your mouth or your genitals, and can be spread via oral sex. There no cure for HSV infection and often stress is an aggravating factor. Cold sores generally clear up without treatment within 10-14 days.

I tested and have hsv1 antibodies and occasional oral outbreaks. If my partner has asymptomatic hsv1, is it possible to reinfect my partner on the genitals or mouth? If it is possible, how likely is that to happen?
