Can herpes (sores of the mouth) be transmitted to genitals in form of genital herpes?
There are two different strains of the herpes virus. HSV Type 1 which is also known as cold sores, and HSV Type 2 which are also called genital herpes. It is definitely possible to pass oral herpes to your partner’s genitals through oral sex. Although the outbreak may not be as severe if you have HSV Type 1 on your genitals, it can still be quite painful and uncomfortable. The risk of passing HSV Type 2 from the genitals to mouth is lower. top Hi, just had a quick question about hiv. I had unprotected sex and caught gonerra, so i was also worried about catching HIV but i dont wana take a test because im scared of the results. what do i do? i highly doubt i have it but you can never b too sure…. im really scared and i started to get paranoid, its affecting my daily life. It’s understandable that you are anxious and scared about your HIV status after unprotected sex. Thinking about getting an HIV test can cause some people to worry.
