it is a possibility he can get infected.  We have minute open cracks sometimes on our skin without even realizing it.  If those cracks come in contact with blood or body fluid that is infected with the HIV virus, then there is definitely a possibility of contracting HIV.  If the person that gave the man the oral sex has an open sore or wound that may not be visible, and if the person receiving also has a small open sore or wound that is not visible, then yes it is highly likely that the person can contract HIV.  It is always best to use protection, common sense and to be careful.

Women with the herpes virus infection can have healthy children despite the infection, and the risk of transmission to the foetus or newborn baby is low, especially if the infection is acquired before or during the first half of the pregnancy. It is important to know that women may shed the virus with or without symptoms and that they are infectious despite the lack of obvious symptoms. Your partner should do a blood test for the herpes virus and if he is negative, then you should consistently use condoms or dental dams.  \nI found this site, you can read more about it.\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/genital_herpes/hw264763.asp

You put yourself at risk whenever you do not use a condom.  You could get HIV if the partner you are with currently has it or contracts it from someone else while you are with that person.\n\nAlso, you can transmit herpes to others if you do not use condoms.  Safe sex would be the best course of action in almost every case unless you are absolute certain that your partner is only having sexual relations with you.

It's not as likely, but yes, it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex. There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex.\nRead this article: \nhttp://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pubs/faq/faq19.htm

Yes. \nA person is considered contagious when prodromal symptoms, active sores, and healing lesions are present, however herpes can be potentially contagious when no symptoms are present. That is, a person who has genital herpes has the potential to always be shedding active virus. \n\nBut keep in mind that everyone is different-- all bodies and immune systems are different, and the longer you're infected, the less common any such outbreaks will occur. The physical ailment is minor compared to the mental anguish brought about by those in the world who "aren't infected," or simply not informed on such matters. Funny how many people in the world who have HSV (or-al canker sores) and think they DON'T have herpes. And yes, even that form of HSV can be spread from a person's mouth to their partner's genitals through or-al contact. \nEver wonder why there are so many Valtrex commercials on TV these days? The increase in infections has skyrocketed since the '70's. I think W caused that, too. ;)

First of all, it doesn't come from "nasty people who have sex with many people". That girl is such a moron. Anyway, you may become infected by someone who is carrying the virus by having sexual relations with them. This also includes oral sex. You've seen people with cold sores, right? If someone has oral sex with another person who has the disease they may contract oral herpes. Same idea with genital herpes. If someone has herpes they may have active outbreaks or they may never have an outbreak in their life. They may not even know they have the virus but they are still able to pass it on. Even if you use protection there is still a chance to contract the disease. \nThere is no cure for herpes. It lies dormant in your spinal cord until it activates, then it rises to the surface of the skin to the spot where the disease was first contracted. It causes painful red sores that usually last for 1-2 weeks.

Could be...your body is smarter than you and doesn't want to spread the disease any further.\n\nIt's best that you are honest with your partner(s) about your condition. You can still pass the virus on to other while having protected sex, even on skin contact; especially during an outbreak.

yes!!any bodily fluids or skin contact can cause you to be infected especially if your partner is

It is very, very common for one partner to have genital herpes and the other to not have it. \nImportant to:\n1. Tell your partner before any intercourse/activity that would put them at risk.\n2. When you tell them be open with them, answer their questions and educate them about genital herpes. Most people don't know that much about it or often know incorrect information.\n3. Always practice safer sex. Abstain during outbreaks and when you feel an outbreak coming on. Wear condoms with each intercourse. \n\nYour partner will likely accept you as you are. It is not an easy conversation to have, but once you have it you will feel so much better.

yes, you can.  Lets say you have herpes simplex 1 outbreak on your lip, and you touch your lip and forget to wash your hands, and than touch your genital area. This will most definetly put you at high risk for spreading herpes simplex 2 too yourself. People who have Hsv-1 must wash there hands very frequently when a outbreak occurs

you can infect a male if you are female during sex if you are female with infection should have partner checked to as he may not even no he has one and reinfect you after your treatment if he has it to yes is answer to your question

You have to think about it logically: Most sexually transmitted diseases are passed on through moistness IE. body fluids. So, you have to know that the person giving you oral haven't been with someone else before you. The viruses can stay undetected in the mouth for some time. Also its probably not the best thing to have oral sex with someone who has obvious mouth problems or sores/ rashes in the mouth or genitalia

You can get herpes, if she has herpes type 1, as has already been mentioned, and if she has oral gonorrhea or chlamydia, you can get that too.

yes it is possible for the herpes virus to go into your throat...it is still a mucous membrane.  don't want to sound gross, but it's the same for the vag.  you can have sores with no symptoms.

Herpes can be spread through kissing. Anytime bodily fluids are mixed there is a chance. The only way to avoid getting STD's at all is bY TiTTiE FUC*KING! AND LETTING HIM FU*CK YOU IN THE NOSE AND EAR TILL YOUR BRAIN IS NUMB!

Any sexual contact, including oral, can transmit STDs. If he was to have AIDS or HIV, whether he got it through sexual contact or somehow else, he could transmit it through blood-vaginal fluids contact. Let's say if he had a cut in his mouth or tongue and made contact with your vagina, he could transmit it. It's not very likely, but it could happen.
