A member asked:
Once cold sore (came on during her cold/fever) is gone from girlfriend lip - would it be safe to receive oral sex from her right away? worried about asymptomatic shedding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, oral sex can transmit the HSV-1 even your girlfriend no longer has active lesion. However, at you age chance of latent HSV-1 infection is quite high (more than 50%) although you never had a herpetic lesion.
