A member asked:
In mid october i got genital herpes i believe from a persons mouth as there was no penetration. we made out and performed oral sex on each other but i only had a genital outbreak. can i also have an asymptotic oral infection from them?

Herpes I/II ?'s: Oral sex can transmit the Herpes virus to genital areas , as the virus is extremely contagious. It is unlikely that any "asymptomatic" oral infection will occur secondary to this interaction, as that which could be communicated by the described action will occur regardless of the type of Herpes ( I or II).

Yes: Yes. Herpes 1(usually called oral) and Herpes 2 (genital) can both be spread to your mouth or genitals or both.
