BJ and Cold Sores

Unread post by teganmarie »

Hi, over the weekend myself and the guy I am seeing had sex. we did use condoms but did have unprotected oral sex (multiple times). Today I have broken out with a cold sore (day after sex). I was wondering if there is any chance that I may have given him genital herpes/cold sores. I was also wondering (probably a silly question) but if kissing him and then him giving me oral sex over the weekend could result in me getting genital herpes. Thanks xx

Hi teganmarie,

The best place to start answering those questions are these articles. If there are things that are still unclear after those, we'd be happy to answer them:
