Herpes question

I have cold sores on my lips.  I have taken a doages of Valtrex and have been putting carmex on them.  Last night I preformed oral sex on my wife.  My question is, can she contract genetal herpes?

yes of course its possible, its never a good idea to perform oral sex when you have a cold sore

How long ago did your cold sore start?

Has your wife ever had a cold sore?  Has she ever been tested for herpes to know her own status?

At this point - should she develop any genital lesions within the next 3 weeks she should see her provider for a lesion culture and typing. In the future - until a cold sore is completely healed, don't perform oral on your wife just to err on the side of caution.
