Oral herpes chances of transmission via kissing

Look it up on google and find out the chances of transmission.

The chances of getting herpes are higher if she has an open outbreak. They are lower if she doesn't, but her skin could still be shedding the virus.

You have the chance of contracting even if a sore isn't present, but it's minor. You've probably already been exposed to the virus numerous times so I'd say don't worry about it. Just don't kiss her when she has an active sore. It's a super common virus and not that big a deal anyway. Now, genital herpes on the other hand...

EDIT: Oh, and DO NOT receive oral sex from her during a breakout. It CAN spread from mouth to dick. If you kiss her while she has a sore, don't go down on her either.

If you have kissed 10 women - 4 of them likely have the oral herpes virus. One of the most common viruses.

You can get genital herpes from having oral sex from someone who has the cold sore virus. The chances of getting genital herpes this way depend on 2 things: 1. If you already have the cold sore virus on your mouth yourself. 2. If the person who is giving you oral sex has an active sore or not.

Taking some time to educate yourself and making an informed decision before you pursued a relationship. Only a small percentage of people accept the chance of contracting herpes. Most singles with herpes choose date other people in the same boat at herpes dating sites.

I think I've made out with 100+ women in my life so far, one time this chick definitely gave me the herp. I am probably still carrying it but I had a bad outbreak periodically in the same spot and then it went away and I haven't had a problem since. She had an open sore at the time that was supposedly healing and we made out and then some. It's not that big a deal to worry about.
