Hi,

I am hoping that someone will know the answer to my question. What is the
likelihood of transmitting HSV-1 in the genital region to other parts of
the body? For example, if someone with HSV-1 genitally (but no sores or
breakout) has oral sex performed on them, what are the chances that the
other person could contract HSV-1 orally or on the hands?

Thanks for your input.

Well, you know there's always a small chance of transmitting it to
someone. And there's a time when the person with genital that they
"shed" the virus and that's when they don't have an outbreak, but can
still spread it. I've had genital for 6 years and I've had oral sex
done and have had a normal sex life since and have not transmitted it
to any of my partners.
I hope this may have helped you out.

It's possible to pass genital herpes type-1 via oral sex. This happens when
the virus is active on the surface of the skin. Activity can take place
before, during, and after an outbreak. Activity on the surface of the skin
can also take place when there is no outbreak that you can see or feel.
