Can I get an STI from oral sex?
Yes, STIs can be transmitted during unprotected oral sex. Oral sex is a much lower risk activity than intercourse, but there's still a possibility for transmission. Not using a condom, dental dam, or other barrier puts both partners at risk. This means that performing and receiving oral sex puts you at risk. Some STIs are more likely to be transmitted during oral sex than others, including:


Herpes is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact with a developing or existing sore. The virus can be transmitted from genitals to mouth if the person giving oral sex has or is developing a cold sore. It can also be transmitted from mouth to genitals if the person receiving oral sex has or is developing a genital sore.

Yes it is possible, the virus that causes herpes is the same virus that causes cold sores, and actually in the same family as the virus that causes warts. This virus is called the Human papilloma virus. See Wiki for details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_papillomavirus
