Genital Herpes?

Can you only get it from like intercourse
or can you get it from mouth to penis?

Mouth to penis is definitely possible if the person giving the oral sex has oral herpes - aka cold sores, even if they are not experiencing symptoms at the time.

This is becoming an increasingly common way to catch herpes - usually herpes type 1, on your genitals. It is the way both I and my sister caught it.

8 out of 10 adults are infected with oral herpes, and once you have it on your mouth it does provide you with a high degree of protection from getting the oral herpes virus hsv-1 genitally, but if you have never had a cold sores you can quite easily catch hsv-1 genitally from receiving oral sex from a partner that has a history of cold sores, even if they do not have one at the time of giving oral sex. My partner, who gets cold sores regulary, did not have one when he gave me oral sex and transmitted hsv-1 to my genitals.

If you give oral sex to someone with genital herpes, you cannot develop genital herpes yourself though, there is just a small risk of oral herpes. The virus stays in the location where it makes contact for the first time - genitals or mouth. Either herpes virus, type 1 or type 2, can be caught in either location.

Hello,
You can get herpes from oral sex.

Yes you can. Remember, saliva has blood in. sometime or most of the time there is minor cuts in our mouth.

We are very vulnerable but life goes on. Just try to not to expose yourself too much.

OK you can get it from rubbing right against the infected area. skin to skin you don't have to be having sex but most people are if its on your genitals. for all the idiots out there that think they know it all just to clarify Herpes Virus is not in the blood or saliva, It's in the blisters that form on the infected area. But HIV is in blood so watch your ***.

you can get it from oral sex ,kissing, and intercourse.
