Can my boyfriend get herpes if I have oral herpes and we had oral sex?!
Question: Yes. 70% of all new genital herpes cases to those in the college age range are a result of HSV-1. HSV-1 is the king of herpes we usually associate with the mouth. Almost all of those cases are a result of oral sex. It does not matter where the sore is. The shedding can take place anywhere in the mouth, so no oral sex is considered safe unless your boyfriend has already been exposed to the virus himself.
BUT.. what you are describing does not sound like a cold sore. It sounds more like a canker sore. Cold sores usually develop in the outer area of the mouth on the edges of the lips. They do not develop inside the mouth. Canker sores are not contagious, and if you can stand giving oral sex, there is no risk to him contracting a canker sore.

Unfortunately, yes. Read all about it at the best herp-cold sore website ever.
Yes he can, the chances are higher if you are in a breakout period. It is better to have oral sex when sores are not present as the chances of transfer are smaller.
its possible. my bf gave me herpes that way. it would not be the genital type but it would cause cold sore on on his genitals. the chaces are smaller when there is NO outbreak, if there is an outbreak then there is a chance of it being passed on. use condoms for now but don't go outside of where the condom covers.
