If you have a coldsore and give oral sex to another person, is that person 100% guaranteed to get genital herpes?

it depends upon whether your oral herpes is type 1 or type 2. You can get 'genital' herpes on your mouth from oral sex and you can get 'mouth' herpes on your genitals from oral sex. Either way, any sores on your mouth increase risk of transmission during oral sex.
