Am i going to get oral herpes if my girlfriend has it?

At Risk: You are at risk as long as there is an active lesion present. If there is contact when this is shedding the virus, the likelihood is high. If you are careful then you can avoid it. Rule of thumb-- active lesion --> no contact. Good Luck.

Herpes simplex virus: is a contagious virus that can be passed from person to person through direct contact.. HSV1 blisters can occur in many different parts of the body but are most common on or around the lips and cheeks and last 7 - 10 days.
