Answer 1

Okay I'm trying to get your story straight...

You have genital herpes and your boyfriend has cold sores? If you guys kiss a lot then you could also potentially have cold sores (from your boyfriend) as well as genital herpes. If you did contract cold sores from your boyfriend and then kissed another guy, that guy could get cold sores from you, but not genital herpes.

Answer 3

I am absolutely terrified and I feel so alone. I just found out last week that I tested positive for hsv1 and 2. I have been with the same man for the past 10 years and within the last year found out that he has cheated on me with numerous women. I am so scared that I can give it to my children by kissing them and them eating with me...I feel like my whole life has changed. And even though the nurses, my doctor, and websites say that a lot of people have it I still feel like I am by myself. My self esteem has dropped and I feel like I have been used up. But now, My life is very happy.

Preventing Transmission

It is almost impossible to defend against the transmission of oral HSV-1, since it can be transmitted by very casual contact. Infection with genital herpes is easier to prevent. The use of latex condoms will reduce transmission of HSV-2, but a condom does not constitute complete protection unless it covers the entire infected area. Even then, a small tear could permit passage of the virus. It is not clear whether a spermicidal gel offers any additional protection against sexually transmitted disease. Condoms made from animal membrane are to be avoided; although they prevent pregnancy, the herpes virus can pass through them. Plastic condoms, such as the Avanti male condom, are an alternative to those allergic to latex, but studies indicate that they break or slip 6% of the time. The female condom may be a superior form of protection because it covers a large area. If active lesions are present, infected persons should abstain from sexual intercourse. Unfortunately, viral shedding and transmission may occur when no lesions or symptoms are present. Women with HSV-2 who have frequent attacks are at particular risk for transmitting the virus during asymptomatic periods (with shedding most likely occurring a week before or after symptoms erupt). Most new cases of infection are spread during these asymptomatic periods, so non-infected partners should wear condoms during all sexual activity with an infected person. It should be stressed that no form of contraception is 100% fool-proof against the virus. When lesions are present, persons infected with any form of herpes virus should carefully wash their hands after contact with the primary infection site so as not to transmit the virus to other sites on the body. The virus can live for up to two hours on cloth and for four hours on plastic. Although transmission from objects such as toilet seats and towels is unlikely, keeping personal items separate during an active infection may help to reduce transmission to other household members.
