Can you tell me are sores in your mouth sexy transmitted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They can be..: That depends on what type of sore(s) you have. Herpes lesions are viral in origin and can definitely be transmitted during sexual relations. Be careful and practice safe sex. Genital herpes is a lifelong concern, and you must always alert your partner to the fact that you have them. Even if they are not "active", they are there! use a condom whether performing oral sex and/or intercourse!
