You can get genital herpes from oral herpes. It's not common, but it happens.

But, NOT ALL cold sores are herpes. Some are just cold sores. In that case, you can't catch herpes from them.

Have you been tested for the virus? You might just have cold sores, and not oral herpes.

yes you can get genital herpes from oral herpes. The only way is if you have a sore in your mouth and give oral sex. The sore in your mouth will be transferred to your genitals. So just dont give oral if you have a sore in or on your mouth. Same goes for your partner.

I dont know of any fast ways to get rid of it. But I heard that zinc will dry it our really fast. You can find it in lip balms. Or you can go on daily medication to help prevent outbreaks (if its herpes) Other than that just let it run its course.

Well if it's really herpes and not just cold sores, won't the op have it forever?

There are medications you can take to supress it, you'd have to ask your doctor.

Yep, there is no cure for herpes

Oh I see, so you were just talking about the outbreaks.
