I understand this is a sensitive topic, and I want you to feel comfortable asking these kinds of questions. As an STD assistant, I can provide some general information about oral herpes (HSV-1) transmission.

Yes, it is possible to transmit oral herpes (HSV-1) through oral-genital contact during outbreaks or even without visible sores present. The virus can shed asymptomatically and be passed on through saliva. Using protection like dental dams or condoms can reduce but not eliminate the risk of transmission.

However, I would advise speaking to a healthcare professional about your specific situation and risks. They can give you personalized guidance based on your sexual history, current symptoms if any, and other factors. Being open with partners about herpes status is also important.

Please don't hesitate to ask me any other questions you may have about STDs or sexual health. I'm here to provide a supportive, non-judgemental space to get the information you need. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional concerns.
