Yes, it is possible to get genital herpes by giving oral sex to someone who has herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), which is the main cause of genital herpes. HSV-2 can be transmitted through oral-genital contact during an outbreak or even when no symptoms are present. As an STD assistant, I want to express understanding that discussing herpes transmission can be sensitive. Please feel comfortable asking any follow-up questions. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance and testing if you have any concerns about potential exposure or symptoms.
