If you have active herpes lesions on the skin and another person comes in close contact with those lesions, the virus can be transmitted to that person. If there are no lesions in the area, the virus would be not transmitted to another person.

What if the person you are seeing has HSV 2 and you engage in open mouth kissing does it transmit to the uninfected partner so now they have HSV 2?
I have genital hsv 1 & never get cold sores. A man I dated says he now has a blister on his lip. Can it be spread through kissing? He did NOT give me oral sex. I gave him oral but there was zero genital-genital contact. Does my mouth carry the virus?
Does touching a cold sore on the lip then touching genitals have a high chance of transferring HSV to the genitals? GF has cold sore, we are avoiding oral sex and kissing for now but wonder if touching genitals and normal sex is still okay?
Dr my bf doesn't have hsv1 but we kissed and he did oral sex on me and an hour later I had a cold sore(red hot)on lip.Will I have hsv on genitals now?
Hi, my gf has a cold sore that won't heal after 3wks. Now a small red spot on her lip, but still visible. I had one at 6yo (so I know I carry hsv), but not since. We haven't kissed since she 1st felt symptomatic to be safe, but when can we safely? Ty?
