I started getting cold sores since I was 12 years old. And now that I'm 21 I've had one every year since the first. From what I've read so far you can only get through an infected person, but during that time no one I ever knew had one. So, now I wonder why was I the one to get them and no one else around me did. I was young and I never did anything I wasn't supposed to, to possibly be infected. Now I believe that I passed this thing to my boyfriend and I just feel absolutely horrible about it.

Cold sores are a type of herpes. Infact, "cold sore" is just a nice way of saying oral herpes.
If you passed this along to your boyfriend, try not to blame yourself b/c you didn't know. All types of herpes, including mouth sores get transmitted through skin to skin contact, and they do not go away- you will just not have visible signs however the virus will stay within your blood stream and just as genital herpes appear from time to time through an outbreak, a cold sore will too.

If you have a cold sore and performed oral sex on your boyfriend, he will then have genital herpes... and vise versa.

Just becareful going forward and try not to feel stressed because stress triggers outbreaks,

I got identified with herpes virus (type 2) about 4 years ago, when I was still in college and had a mindless one-night stand. I understand lots of people say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/9WNd0 everything improved.

Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the hsv from my body in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This method gave me back the opportunity to be happy and experience true love again. Now I hope that I can help others by sharing this story.

u could have been born with it, the virus can remain dormant for long periods of time. go see a doctor and find out whether it is type 1 or 2 herpes
