A member asked:

If i have herpes simplex virus-1 cold sore)can i pass genital herpes to my partner through oral sex even if i dont have a cold sore at the time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: yes it is possible. You can potentially shed the Herpes virus even when you do not have a visible sore and this shedding can transmit the infection.
