thanx ive been wondering about that since forever..cuz im not sure how the whole herpes thing is transmited

Most common, would HSV 1, which is typically the cause of "Cold Sores", "fever blisters", ect.... They don't have to have an open cold sore in order to pass it on to you either, as they can have viral shedding at times, which will infect you as well.

Also, it is not impossible that the person who has oral herpes would have HSV II either. As you said, she performed oral sex on two other individuals. It is possible that one of them had HSV II, and she contracted it orally from performing oral sex on them.


Most likely, HSV 1.


However, just a reminder... just because you wear a condom, doesn't mean that you didn't still contract an STD while having sexual intercourse.

You give very drastic advice to these people.     He has a better chance of getting hit by lightening than getting HSv2 through oral sex!

Original Poster:  There is a risk for HSV1, (but if you have it orally, you are pretty much immune to getting it anywhere else on your body.)

There is also a small risk for gonnorhea, but if you don't see discharge I wouldn't worry.
