A question about genital herpes, contracting it when its dormant?


so im a lesbian, and i met this girl, and we're talking about taking our relationship to the next level, and shes had genital herpes for a few months now, of course lesbian sex involves oral sex & "scissors/clam banging," and i dont want to catch it, can i catch when its dormant?

yes, 70% of infections between partners occur when the herpes virus is " dormant" The skin containing the virus can slough off and release viruses without an outbreak being apparant.also " microlesions " occur which spread the virus just as effectively as when major lesions are present. Herpes is never 100% " dormant" just so you know....
