Don't let these people freak you out with the herpes virus.\n\nTons of people have some form of it, and a sore on your toungue/cold sore/etc. ARE varieties of it. Don't worry, it will go away on it's own. \n\nIt's mostly common in children. Just give it time and let it go away on it's own. Everyone gets them from time to time.

It is feasible that HSV-1 (commonly known as oral herpes) could be transmitted in this manner.  The most common transmission lines of HSV-1 are by kissing or sharing of food/drink (cups, straws, bottles, utensils, etc.).  Basically anything that an infected person's saliva comes in contact with, especially during an outbreak, is a potential means of transmission.  That's why 80 to 90 percent of the people in the US are infected with this variant of the virus, though many don't even realize it (percentages are according to the NIH and CDC).

You can get herpes, if she has herpes type 1, as has already been mentioned, and if she has oral gonorrhea or chlamydia, you can get that too.

You will not pass the cold sores (HSV-1) on to your child.  Herpes is a virus and must be passed through contact.  If your partner has genital herpes, she may spread the virus to the baby through childbirth.  \n\nBe careful about kissing your baby when you do have cold sores because they are highly contagious.  Also, know that cold sores can be passed to the genitals through oral sex.\n\nHope this helps!

How Do I Know If I Have It? \n\n\nTo see if you have the virus, your doctor may simply examine the cold sore or may take a culture from it. \n\nWhat Are the Treatments? \n\nYou can't cure a cold sore, but you can alleviate the pain it causes by avoiding spicy or acidic foods, applying ice, and using over-the-counter remedies. Look for medicines that contain numbing agents such as phenol and emollients to reduce cracking and soften scabs. Abreva is an over the counter topical remedy used to help speed healing and minimize pain from a cold sore.\n\nIf your cold sore is especially painful or irritating, your doctor may prescribe an anesthetic gel to alleviate pain or an antiviral oral medication to speed healing or prevent recurrence. The antiviral agents currently available for treatment include acyclovir, famciclovir and valcyclovir.  These oral medications are more effective in treatment when started within the first 48 hours of the outbreak.\n\nCold sores can become complicated by a bacterial infection so it is also important to keep them clean by washing gently with soap and water as needed.\n\nHow Can I Prevent Them? \n\nWash your hands after touching a cold sore. \nDon't rub your eyes after touching your cold sore; you could develop an ocular herpes infection, which may lead to blindness if left untreated. \nDon't touch your genitals after touching your cold sore; you could develop genital herpes. \nReplace your toothbrush. \nEat foods high in lysine, or take supplements. \nDon't kiss someone who has a cold sore or use the same utensils, towels, or razors. \nUse sunscreen to the face and lips before prolonged exposure to the sun. \nCold sores -- also called fever blisters -- are a painful infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). These blisters are usually caused by HSV Type 1 but can less commonly be due to HSV Type 2. They may show up anywhere on your body but are most likely to appear on your gums, the outside of your mouth and lips, your nose, cheeks, or fingers. Blisters form, then break and ooze; a yellow crust develops and eventually sloughs off, revealing new skin underneath. The sores usually last seven to 10 days and are contagious until they crust over completely.\n\nNinety percent of all people get at least one cold sore in their lives. This first occurrence is often the worst. Some children who are affected may become seriously ill. After the first infection, many people develop antibodies and never have another cold sore. About 40% of American adults, however, have repeated cold sores. \n\nAlthough cold sores generally are not serious, the infection may be life-threatening for anyone who has AIDS or whose immune system is depressed by other disorders or medications. \n\nThe infection from a cold sore may cause blindness if it spreads to the eye; herpes is a frequent cause of infectious blindness. \n\nWhat Causes Them? \n\n Cold sores are usually caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV)-Type 1, which is transmitted by such forms of contact as kissing an infected person or sharing eating utensils, towels, or razors. Genital herpes is usually caused by herpes simplex virus Type 2. A person with a cold sore who performs oral sex on another person can give that person genital lesions with HSV-1. \n\nSores may develop as late as 20 days after exposure to the virus. Once the virus enters your body, it may emerge years later at or near the original site of entry. Approximately 2 days before an attack you may experience itching or sensitivity at the site. The virus may be triggered by certain foods, stress, fever, colds, allergies, sunburn, and menstruation.

You were so misinformed\n\n*HSV-1 is not hereditary\n\n*You can only spread it by kissing, or drinking from the same glass if you have an open sore.\n\n*Once the sore is dried up and clear, you are no longer contagious. \n\n*Your children will only get it if you kiss them or drink after them from the same glass, when you have an open sore.\n\n*You are not contagious to people on the street.\n\n*You can pass HSV-1 to the genital area by performing oral sex if you have an open sore, so wait until it is dried and cleared away.\n\n*You don't think you can get Pink eye from HSV-1, but you can with gonorrhea, chlamydia, and other bacterial infections.\n\n*The one and only thing you can do with a flair up is WASH YOUR HANDS after you touched the infected area to prevent spreading it.\n\nIf you want more information regarding HSV-1 speak with your doctor.

No - There are two types of herpes simplex virus (HSV)- HSV 1 and HSV 2.  HSV 1 is the common oral type of infection causing "cold sores" that appear during periods of stress or sometimes due to exposure to sun.  While HSV-1 is usually found in the area of the mouth and HSV-2 is usually found in the genital area, there can be transfer between the two areas (oral to genital and genital to oral).\n\nOutbreaks can be prevented with antiviral medications such as Valtrex (valacyclovir) made by Glaxo Smithkline (GSK).\n\nFor more information about HSV, check out:

Don't freak out. It could possibly be a folliculitis (which is a hair bump) or bacterial vaginosis. The best advice I could give you is to pay the doctor a visit. Since you have never been with a person who has a herpes infection, I wouldn't be too worried about it.\n\nBut also know, that if a person has a cold sore, it is a herpes virus. If they perform oral sex on you with an active cold sore, you can develop a herpese infection in your genital area. A person who has genital herpes but isn't currently having an outbreak can still transmit the disease. The only reason why I am telling you these things is because I never knew until someone told me. \n\ntry not to worry too much and take care of yourself

NO. If the cold sore is oral herpes, so u can GET ORAL HERPES, NOT GENITAL HERPES. This is a two different kind of virus.

It is possible to catch the cold sore only if the one infected will have popped open one of his boil in the process of drinking. And on the instant you would have drank from the same bottle you has a tiny superficial cut on your lips. No telling when one will show indication of its initial outbreak but the best barometer will be when you find out that the rim of your mouth start to itch mildly every so often periods and reach the reddening and swelling of your mouth. At this point the most inexpensive application to prevent an outbreak would be to put an ice over your slightly swollen mouth and just keep it cool for 36 hrs.

Generally, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore and may not know that he or she is infected.\n\nHSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips, so-called "fever blisters." HSV-1 infection of the genitals can be caused by oral-genital or genital-genital contact with a person who has HSV-1 infection. Genital HSV-1 outbreaks recur less regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks.

How common is herpes? \nAbout 50 percent to 80 percent of the adult population in the United States has oral herpes (commonly called cold sores or fever blisters), with as many as 90% having the virus by age 50. \nMost people contract oral herpes when they are children by receiving a kiss from a friend or relative. \nAbout one in four persons in the United States has genital herpes; however, as many as 90 percent are unaware that they have the virus. There are many reasons people do not know they have herpes (see below). \nAnyone who is sexually active can contract genital herpes. \nHow is it transmitted?\n\nAny person who is sexually active can get genital herpes. \nHerpes is transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact. This occurs when a contagious area comes into contact with a tiny break in the skin or mucous membrane tissue, primarily the mouth and genitals. \nMost skin on the body is too thick for the virus to go through. \nIf a person with oral herpes (sometimes called cold sores or fever blisters) performs oral sex, it is possible for the partner to get genital herpes. \nIf a person with genital herpes has sex, it is possible for his or her partner to get genital herpes. \nGenital herpes can be transmitted sexually both when symptoms are present and sometimes when symptoms are not present. \nThere are several days throughout the year (called asymptomatic reactivation, asymptomatic shedding, or subclinical shedding) when the virus may be present on the surface of the skin, but there are no symptoms. Herpes can be passed through sexual contact during this time. \nThere are no documented cases of a person getting genital herpes from an inanimate object such as a toilet seat, bathtub, or towel. Herpes is a very fragile virus and does not live long on surfaces. \nTesting\nThere are different tests available for herpes. One test, a viral culture, can be done if you are experiencing symptoms. Blood tests are available for people who may not have had symptoms or if the signs have already healed. Not all tests are accurate, however, and many health care providers are unclear on which tests to perform. To find out more about getting an accurate diagnosis, visit our section on Testing. \nReduce your risk\nAny sexually active person may contract genital herpes. Aside from abstaining from sex or mutual monogamy with one uninfected partner, there are many options a couple may consider to reduce the risk of transmission.\n\nSince one in four persons is though to have herpes and the majority of people don't know, if a partner has ever been sexually active, it is possible that she or he could unknowingly have the virus too. Accurate blood tests:hyperlink are available to determine whether a person has antibodies for HSV. Knowing a partner's status can help a couple make a joint decision about whether they need to take steps to reduce the risk of transmitting HSV.\n\nIf one or both partners have herpes, it is important to become educated about herpes, to understand the basics of herpes prevention, and to make decisions together about which precautions are right for you.\n\nIf someone has signs or symptoms around the genital or anal region (genital herpes), he or she should not have sexual activity until all signs have healed.\n\nWhen there are no symptoms present, there is still the possibility of asymptomatic reactivation:hyperlink . Using latex condoms between outbreaks for genital-to-genital contact can reduce the risk of transmission. While condoms don't always cover the potential sites of viral shedding, they offer useful protection against the virus by protecting or covering the mucous membranes that are the most likely sites of transmission. Furthermore, keep in mind that condoms also help reduce the risk of acquiring another STD.\n\nOne antiviral medication for herpes, valacyclovir (Valtrex®), has been shown to reduce the risk of herpes transmission.

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) (also known as Cold Sore, Night Fever, or Fever Blister) is a virus that manifests itself in two common viral infections, each marked by painful, watery blisters in the skin or mucous membranes (such as the mouth or lips) or on the genitals. The disease is contagious, particularly during an outbreak, and is incurable with present technology. An infection on the lips is commonly known as a "cold sore" or "fever blister," though this should not be confused with a canker sore, which appears inside the mouth and is not caused by the herpes simplex virus.
