So my boyfriend gets cold sores, and he's been avoiding kissing me so I won't get it, but last night he licked his fingers while we were having sex and fingered me, can I get genital herpes from that? Ive been reading everywhere about how it is possible to get it from oral sex, but Im curious if that still applies here.

I know some one who had touched his mouth sore and gave to his self by not washing his hands, it can be spread from mouth to bottom, hope fully his finger had not touched his mouth and you'll be ok.
