A member asked:

I get cold sores occasionally. can i infect male genitals with herpes by giving unprotected oral sex, if i do not have an outbreak at the time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes.: Genital herpes can be transmitted by oral sex and can be caused by HSV I or HSV II. The transmission of herpes can occur in the absence of lesions and during asymptomatic shedding.
