STD Assistant
As an STD assistant, I understand your concern about herpes transmission. To address your question directly: Yes, it is possible for two people with genital herpes to transmit oral herpes to each other through oral-genital contact. The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) typically causes oral herpes, while HSV-2 causes genital herpes. However, both types can infect either region. It's important to take precautions to reduce the risk of transmission. I encourage you to consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance on managing herpes and preventing transmission. They can provide accurate information and support tailored to your specific situation. Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
