If I have Herpes Simplex type I in my bloodstream, will my wife repeatedly get cold sores from oral sex?
yes and yes...unless wear a condom, besides 9 out 10 you probably already have it if she does. A cold sore is not contagious when it crust and heels over. Make sure she don't get in the sun UV rays causes this critter to appear plus this critter is an opportunistic std/disease so any time her body is to weak to fight the cold sore due to fighting another sickness like the cold hint hint or the flu will cause this critter to appear. in other words when she has a weak immune system or uv rays touch her lip herpes simplex1 will appear! did you know chicken pox herpes simplex 2 and herpes simplex1 are all different forms of herpes... you guys will be ok...nothing to worry about just stay healthy and take care of yourselfHSV1 which normally causes "Cold Sores" can infect the genitals..
However if it does the strain does not change.. it just means you would have Genital HSV1 which fortunatly tends to be less as in outbreaks wise.
If you do get cold sores, i'm afraid you can be contagous at any time. HSV does somthing called "Viral Shedding" which means the virus is shedding and is contagous even when no symptoms at all are present.
The rates of shedding tend to be different though...
It is approx:
Oral HSV1 - 18 to 15% of the year
Genital HSV1 - 5 to 3% of the year
Genital HSV2 - 20 to 15% of the year
Oral HSV2 - 1% of the year.
The reason why it is lower for genital HSV1 and oral HSV2 is cause the virus tends to be outside it's perferred site of infection.
So yes if you recive oral even if she does not have a cold sore you can get it if she is shedding... unfortunatly there is no way to know when the virus is shedding...
Taking Acyclavor or Valacyclavor can reduce the shedding by half, however it has only even been studied for people with HSV2.
It is best to get tested, as 80% of the population carries some form of of HSV, chances are you could already have HSV1 which means you aalready have antibodies which can offer some protection, even though you can get oral AND genital HSV1, but if you have antibodies it is a much lower risk.
I have Genital HSV1 and got it from an ex partner who did not have any sign of a Cold Sore but happened to be shedding at the time. That is what sucks about HSV, you can pass it without even knowing you have it :-( - Fortunatly I had my first outbreak in April and nothing since, so fingers crossed that was my only outbreak and my immune system does a good job at supressing it.Herpes simplex virus type I is transmitted by oral and respiratory secretions, affects the skin and mucous membranes and commonly produces cold sores or fever blisters.
So always use condom.Consult a doctor while symptoms are still present.Although there is no cure, there are measures that can be taken to reduce manifestations.
