I dont feel it coming?!


Question:

I dont feel it coming?

Ppl say you can feel a cold sore coming. So because of the risk that both me and my bf have cold sores right now apparently. It makes me not wanna perform oral sex n eachother, cause i honestly dont feel when a cold sore happens. So by me having a cold sore and not realizing it till i look in my mouth. I could be giving him genital herpes. Thats why I would rather stick to contact through fingering and rubbing. Is that at all, un-normal of me?


Answers:

If you both have the cold sore virus, and have had it for at least a few months, the likelihood of you giving each other genital herpes is very low since you will each have antibodies to protect you against exposure to the virus. Infection can still occur, but is quite rare, unless you actually have an open sore. If you avoid actual outbreaks and the few days after they have healed you should be ok. You are a lot less likely to catch genital herpes type 1 from oral herpes if you already have it yourself than if you didn't have it at all. And I was still with my boyfriend and receiving oral sex from him for seven years before I caught herpes genitally.
