A member asked:
What is the possibility (statistically) of transferring hsv-1 from mouth to genitals before blister appears on lip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HSV1 : While the risk is higher when the blisters are there, you never can be sure that unprotected sex is safe. Use protection.

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?
Conflicting info online on HSV-1 - some say its only transferred through direct mouth to genital contact, others say touching cold sore on another person's lip then touching your own genitals also transfers it. Is it both or is it direct contact only?
I have tiny bumps on the inside of my lip, by the corner, not red but white & a little tingly. Theyve been there a week but havent grown or blistered. Theyre not painful, and you can barely see them unless I open my mouth. HSV? I have hsv2 genital?
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?
I have HSV1. Twice Ive had what looks like it INSIDE my lip and painless, I usually get it outside. 1inside bottom lip and 1 inside top lip. Like a painless HSV blister. I also get canker sores. could hsv1 show up inside mouth? Something else?
