Can Genital Herpes Spread to Oral Herpes?

If you (and your partner) have been diagnosed with genital herpes, but not oral herpes...is it possible to get oral herpes if you preform oral sex (while NOT having an outbreak)?

Yes.
Oral herpes is transmitted through direct contact between the contagious area and broken skin (a cut or break) and mucous membrane tissue (such as the mouth or genitals). Herpes can also be transmitted when there are no symptoms present. There are several days throughout the year when the virus reactivates yet causes no symptoms (called asymptomatic shedding, viral shedding, or asymptomatic reactivation).

yes.
