My boyfriend has type 1 herpes on his mouth, and I caught genital type 1 through him giving me oral sex when he had no symptoms!.
It is common to catch herpes when your partner has no symptoms!. With oral herpes type 1, she is still infectious about 10% of the time when she has no symptoms at all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, herpes, whether type 1 or type 2, can be transmitted regardless of whether there are any blisters present at the time of intercourse, or oral sex, or even kissing!.
Herpes cannot be fully eradicated from a person, the virus simply goes latent and the person does not manifest symptoms (the tiny painful blisters)!. Therefore the phrase "diamonds are not forever, herpes are"!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

type one herpes is nothing its just coldsores i think like 99% if people have it if you had the chicken pocks you have type 1 herpes i dont know if you can get it from oral but i know you can by kissing but its really nothing to freak out over i bet if you didnt already have it you would get it anyway even if it wasnt with herWww@Answer-Health@Com
HSV1 is the same thing cold sores (u don't have to have sex to get them)!. they are more contagious whent they are active then when they are not!. there is still a SMALL risk that u can get herpes if she is between out breaks!. i got oral herpes orally and gentially (HSV1) from my boyfriend most likely from oral sex!. he was even between out breaks at the time!. just because there are no outbreaks doesn't mean that the virus is gone!. its in a dormant period and still in their body!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes!. Not having an outbreak for a while doesn't mean it's not contagious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have written some information that may help you, but anyone with any STD needs to take protection OK
What is herpes!?
Herpes is a common and usually mild recurrent skin condition; most infections are unrecognised and undiagnosed!. Herpes is caused by a virus: the herpes simplex virus (HSV)!. HSV is in a family of viruses called herpesviruses!. This family includes Epstein-Barr virus (the cause of mono) and the varicella zoster virus (the cause of chicken pox and shingles)!. Although there are several viruses in the herpesvirus family, each is a separate virus and different from one another!. Having one virus does not mean you will have another!.
There are two types of herpes simplex: herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2)!. HSV can cause oral herpes (sometimes called cold sores or fever blisters) on the mouth or facial area as well as genital herpes!. The majority of oral herpes cases are caused by HSV-1 and the majority of genital herpes cases are caused by HSV-2; however, type-1 or type-2 can occur in either the genital or oral area!.
How common is oral herpes!?
About 50 percent to 80 percent of the adult population in the United States has oral herpes, with as many as 90% having the virus by age 50!. Most people contract oral herpes when they are children by receiving a kiss from a friend or relative!.
How does a person get oral herpes!?
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)!.
If a person is experiencing symptoms orally, we recommend abstaining from performing oral sex and kissing others directly on the mouth until signs have healed and the skin looks normal again!. Because most adults have oral herpes, we do not advise that a person stop giving or receiving affection altogether between outbreaks (when there are no signs or symptoms) simply because they have oral herpes!. However, using a barrier (such as a dental dam) or condom when performing oral sex (even though there are no symptoms present around the mouth) can reduce the risk of contracting genital herpes!.
By performing oral sex on someone who has genital herpes, it would be possible to contract oral herpes - but this is rare!. Most cases of genital herpes are caused by HSV-2, which rarely affects the mouth or face!. Also, and even more importantly, most adults already have oral HSV-1, contracted as a child through kissing relatives or friends!.
What happens when herpes enters the body!?
One thing that distinguishes viruses in the herpesvirus family from other types of viruses is something called latency!. Herpes simplex and other herpesviruses have a way of creating a small but permanent colony of viral particles inside the body!. This colony is often completely inactive
