* It's probably gonna end up with a break up after having oral sex. * Genital herpes is an infection caused by either of two viruses, called the herpes simplex virus type 1 or more commonly the herpes simplex virus type 2. These viruses are "ancient " living forms that infect most animal species. However, HSV-1 and HSV-2 are uniquely adapted to humans. The HSV-1 virus is the cause of cold sores or fever blisters. The HSV-2 virus is the major cause of genital herpes. The two viruses have many similarities, but it is their differences that are perhaps most important. The only sure-fire way to avoid getting genital herpes is to abstain from sex or have sex only with someone who is also herpes-free. Short of that, a latex condom offers some protection if it covers the infected area. Remember, you can get genital herpes by receiving oral sex (fellatio, cunnilingus, analingus) from someone with a cold sore on the mouth. Likewise, you can get oral herpes from someone's genitals by way of oral sex. If you know that a sex partner has genital herpes, you can reduce your risk by having sex (vaginal, anal, or oral intercourse) only when he or she has no symptoms. Nevertheless, genital herpes can be contagious even when there are no visible symptoms, so you should always use a latex barrier, such as a condom or a dental dam.
