Dear Herpes & Oral Sex,
Absolutely!!!!!!!
FX has answered very similar questions to yours. Check out Oral Sex Sores (gives detailed instructions on how to practice safer oral sex). In addition, please see What's Herpes, Herpes - An Oral Outbreak, Can I get Herpes I On My Privates, Herpes HSV1 Hypochondria and Is This Herpes, I Have Herpes and Can It Be HPV.
If you feel like you may have exposed to Herpes or any STD, you should get checked out by a doctor. If you live in northern New Jersey and would like more information or to make an appointment with a medical professional, please call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at (973) 971.6475. Outside of northern New Jersey, call your local Planned Parenthood for a location and resources around you.
