# Causes of Oral Herpes
Oral herpes is spread most commonly from individuals with an active outbreak or sore. You can catch oral herpes by engaging in intimate or personal contact (e.g., kissing or oral sex) with someone who is infected.
# Is oral herpes a STD?
Both genital herpes and oral herpes are considered STDs (sexually transmitted diseases), because both are passed from person to person during vaginal, oral, or anal sex.
Having unprotected sex (without a condom), even with a dormant herpes infection, can increase your partner's risk of infection. Wearing a condom during oral, anal, and vaginal sex promotes sexual health and safety.
# Oral Herpes Symptoms
- Painful, fluid-filled blisters may appear on the lips or under the nose.
-The blisters will leak fluid and become sores.
- After about four to six days, the sores will start to crust over and heal.
