A member asked:
Can you give someone genital herpes through oral sex if you don't currently have any lip sores?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely, but: The virus can be shedding and contagious if there are any symptoms of herpes. Just before the lesions appear, most people experience tingling or burning in the area. At that time, it is contagious.
