yes the herpes virus can be spread this way. or not. a person is never sure when they are shedding the virus and the recipient would need to be susceptible at the time.
can the cold sore on my girlfriends lip spread genital herpes if she gives me oral sex? . recently my girlfriend gave me a blowjob. she had a cold sore on her lower lip. although the sore was completely scabbed over and is almost completely healed. she got it two weeks ago and has been using some type of medicine to get it healed. the bj lasted 15 seconds and the scab barely touched my penis. the sore isn't open at all so is there still a high risk of infection? whenever we make-out when she has a cold sore i never get one. and she generally gets them when she's really stressed.
