A member asked:
If he has a cold sore on his lip, can i get genital herpes from this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I would refrain from oral sex until the cold sore disappears. It is possible that the sore on your partners lip is being caused by herpers simplexii which is genital herpes. My best advice is be safe during this oral outbreak.
