Can you get herpes if you received oral from your partner when they have a cold sore?

Question

I had oral sex with my partner four days ago, he had a cold sore and since then I've had red painful bumps. Is it herpes and if it is what should I do?

Answer

100% yes, you can get it. Whoever said no needs a brush up on their sex ed

Answer

No one with an active cold sore should be sharing utensils or drinks, kissing, preforming oral, or having contact until it’s completely healed and gone for several days. HSV1 is easily passed when you’re not careful and yes you can get oral HSV1 on your genitals. Time to see your doctor.
