I really need to know if you can get any kind of herpes from just oral sex without protection. I don't believe any one of us are infected. I need to know because my wife wants to have oral sex and I don't want her to get herpes. Also how exactly does one get herpes if they don't have it already?

Thank you for posting this question.
Check out the transmission section of the website that gives information regarding oral, vaginal, and anal sex and transmission of herpes. This video is also interesting and gives insight into how one gets herpes (Genital Herpes-- The Intimate Invader).
As always, if you think you may have been exposed to herpes, see a doctor.
