If a person has cold sores then they have herpes. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus. Usually herpes simplex virus 1 is responsible for cold sores, but, herpes simplex virus 2 (which is usually genital herpes) can cause cold sores also.

Most people contract cold sores when they are young. A lot of children and babies get them from being kissed by a relative, like their mother or father, grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc. If a person has a cold sore and kisses another person, it can spread the virus to that person. Kissing is the most common way cold sores are transmitted.

Also, cold sores can be spread for sharing things too, like a drink, chap stick, lip stick, cigarettes, and even a clarinet. If a person with cold sores has their lips on something and then another person uses that right after the person it can spread the virus.

Cold sores are VERY common by the way. It's estimated about 75 - 80% of the world has them!

Oral sex can also spread herpes. If a person with cold sores gives another person oral sex it can cause that person to develop genital herpes. Genital herpes is usually caused by herpes simplex virus 2, but it can also be caused by herpes simplex virus 1. I personally have genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus 1.

Every person has the herpes virus gene in their body. It just needs a stressor to trigger an outbreak.

Genital Herpes is different, and having a coldsore means you don't have it down there. But you can make your partner get herpes when you perform oral sex on them if you have a coldsore.

There are many types of herpes. The coldsore on your mouth is caused by a simple virus not the genital type of herpes. So take a deep breath of relief and go to the drugstore to get some medicine that helps quicken the healing time of an outbreak. Good luck Nancy

I got identified with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about five years back, when I was still attending college and had a mindless one-night stand. I know lots of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with someone who has sores round her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/t2yfa everything got better.

Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the herpes simplex virus from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This program provided the chance to be happy and experience real love again. Now I hope that I can help others by sharing this story.

Coldsores are evidence that you are infected with HSV Type I (Herpes simplex virus type I), so yes, you have a form of herpes. But usually what people mean by "herpes" is HSV Type II, or genital herpes. Coldsores are not evidence of an infection with HSV Type II.

If you get coldsores around your mouth, you definitely have herpes type I. You can easily give it to someone else via kissing or oral sex. Keep your distance and disinfect your hands frequently, avoid touching the sore to prevent it from spreading further.
