The second person will get it at the point of contact with an active lesion. If someone has it on their mouth and goes down on someone else, there is a good chance they will develop genital herpes.

Oral Herpes can transfer via intercourse, but if your partner has oral herpes you can catch it by just kissing. Most likely though, you have already come in contact with oral herpes but have no outbreaks. No need to worry. In addition, it is not likely to pass oral herpes in the genital area if that is where your partner has it.

Oral herpes cannot mutate into genital herpes, nor can genital herpes mutate into oral herpes. However, it is possible to contract genital herpes on areas other than the genitals, and the same goes for oral herpes. Herpes, in general, are spread by skin-to-skin contact, or a transference in a short period of time through a third party (example: drinking from the same cup can spread oral herpes). Thus, oral herpes can be transferred to the genital region via oral sex, just as genital herpes can be transferred to the mouth area by the same way. To restate what was said earlier, one strain of herpes cannot mutate into the other strain.

What is HSV 2?

HSV 1 is the virus that causes oral herpes which is what causes cold sores and fever blisters on the mouth. HSV2 causes genital herpes, usually located on the genitals, inner thighs, buttocks or anus. But HSV1 can affect the genitals. If some one with a visible cold sore gives their partner oral sex they could pass cold sores to their partners genitals. Also HSV2 can affect the mouth. If some one gives their partner oral sex around the time they have a break out of herpes then they could pass genital herpes to their partners mouth.

Can sperm cause cold sores?

Cold sores are caused by herpes simplex virus. It is possible to get oral herpes from someone's genitals or fluid that comes into contact with genital mucous membranes (i.e. sperm) "Genital Herpes is contagious via mucus membranes, found in the mouth, genitals, nose, eyes and anus. They contain a thick liquid in which Genital Herpes travels. Sperm and vaginal fluids will usually be mixed with the fluids from mucus membranes."

Can a baby get herpes from a diaper change?

I don't see how that could happen. If you talk mouth sores we all have that virus in us and no sexual contract is needed but if you talk genital herpes it could only happen if there was sexual contact (genitals against genitals) or if the person changing it had liquid from the blisters on his/hers hands when changing it. But that would also be weird since the blisters hurt a lot and the person would know about a outbreak. Or if the diaper had suck liquid on it. All in all it sounds strange and should be investigated by a doctor.
