Yes, it is possible to transmit genital herpes through oral sex. Genital herpes can be spread from the genitals to the mouth and vice versa if there are active sores or viral shedding present. It's essential for both partners to communicate about their status, use protection like dental dams or condoms during any sexual activity, and consider antiviral medication prescribed by a healthcare provider to reduce transmission risk further. If you have concerns about transmitting herpes in this way, consult with your healthcare professional for guidance tailored to your specific situation.
