Can you give yourself genital herpes??? help please?

If u have cancre sores in your mouth & u touch them with your fingers and then touch ur vagina, can you give yourslef gential herpes?

Herpes both type I & II are VERY contagious. So I would say that there is a strong possibility that if you touch your mouth in that area and then touch your vagina, it's likely you will spread the infection. But you also need to know that a CANKER sore is totally different from a COLD SORE, which is a form of herpes.
Canker sores, also called aphthous ulcers, are small, shallow lesions that develop on the soft tissues in your mouth 鈥?under your tongue, inside your cheeks or lips, and at the base of your gums. Unlike cold sores, canker sores don't occur on the surface of your lips and aren't contagious. They can be very painful, however, and can make eating and talking difficult. Hope this helps!

yes for sure since that's the ideal way for spreading infection but at certain stage of illness.
Persons with herpes can be infectious both when symptoms of a herpes outbreak are present and also when there are no symptoms.

People who experience an episode of herpes, either facial or genital, should consider themselves infectious from the start of the episode to the healing of the last ulcer.

Facial herpes lesions (e.g. cold sores) are also a source of transmission through the practice of oral sex. Consequently, oral sex should be avoided if one partner has a facial herpes attack.

Infectious virus can still be present in people with no obvious lesions, during periods of asymptomatic virus shedding. Asymptomatic virus shedding cannot be predicted but is known to occur on at least 5% of days.

Occasionally, one partner in a long-term relationship may develop symptoms of herpes for the first time. Often this is due to one or both of the partners being carriers of HSV and not knowing it. The sudden appearance of herpes does not necessarily imply recent transmission from someone outside the relationship.

By avoiding sex when the signs of herpes are present, and by using condoms with sexual partners between outbreaks, the chance of passing on herpes may be reduced.

Short answer - yes, it will transfer. It's also possible to transfer by towel, so if you have an oral outbreak, don't use your shower towel to wipe around your face, then your genitals...you could transfer the virus that way. The Herpes virus can live on a towel for brief periods, too, so it's important not to use it around your outbreak areas first, or at all.

Yes you can transfer HSV one and two just the same. You should always practice good hand washing practices and be careful of what you touch.... Once you have transferred HSV to the genital area it turns to HSV two and you can not get rid of it like you can a cold sore... So be smart and be safe.

A canker sore is a form of herpes, but it is not on the same level as genital herpes, so I woould say no. My question is, if you have any infection, why would you be touching your mouth and then your vagina, that sounds silly in itself.

Try it & find out (& you can advise us all!)

yes keep it up
