A: If your boyfriend has been having oral sex on you ("going down," "eating out") and you developed sores and tenderness, it is possible that you got genital herpes from the "oral" strain of herpes virus (HSV type 1). You should never perform oral sex on a partner when you have cold sores or fever blisters, because the oral strain can infect the genitals. This would be the most likely explanation for the sores and tenderness you had. It is also possible that you got some other kind of non-STD infection from his hands or mouth. If you get the same sores again, have a doctor check it out to see if it is herpes.
