Do cold sores indicate a person has genital herpes?
2006-06-08 04:22:16 · update #1
I have herpes of the mouth and have for a long time. So I asked my doc if I could transfer it to my husband and she said if it is weepy and oozy you should not perform oral sex. There is a possibility! So stay on the safe side if you have an open lesion do not perform oral sex. Although, just because a person has cold sores does not mean they have genital herpes.

Yes, there isn't any. Herpes is caused by a virus. Actually, there is little cure for viruses nowadays. The only thing that you can generally do in the case of a viral infection is strengthen the immune system and hope it fights it off. Not with Herpes, the immune system can't win against it. Thus you only get to treat the symptoms. Once you're infected, it stays with you for life. So don't get infected.
Personal experience. I have had genital herpes for over 5 years.

No,
If you have cold sores you don't automatically have genital herpes. You can transmit thur oral sex. I get cold sores have since I was a child, I don't have genital herpes though. Both are in the herpes family. You should be having protected sex anyway there are many other more serious diseases out there.

Herpes is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact with a developing or existing sore. The virus can be transmitted from genitals to mouth if the person giving oral sex has or is developing a cold sore. It can also be transmitted from mouth to genitals..
No, cold sores do not indicate the presence of genital herpes.

They aren't the same virus. Cold sores won't turn into genital herpes. If your saying the person has cold sores and genital herpes then yes.

No!!! They are two completely different viruses. They only way to get gentital herpes is from the gentials. Cold sores are transmitted by kissing, eating, or drinking after someone who currently has one.
