Question: If I suffers from cold sores (herpes simplex 1) but not from genital herpes (herpes simplex 2), is it possible for me to pass on the virus to my partner during oral sex; even if I am cold-sore free at the time?
Answer: Unfortunately, yes, even though the chances are slim, either herpes virus -- Herpes Simplex Type 1 (HSV-1) or Herpes Simplex Type 2 (HSV-2), can infect the mouth or genitals and can be transferred from one partner to another even if the infected partner is asymptomatic at the time.
