"Is Cold Sores On The Lips Herpes?"

Posted by: d3r3k

Hello, yesturday, i've gotten a cold sore on my lips and i was wondering what this was exactly. I had already been checked and tested for STDs 2 months ago and the results were negative.

I'm sure i havent gotten anything new because i havent had sex since. Yesturday me and my gf had sex and i thought this would never affect her because it is not any type of STD or anything like that, it's just something everyone gets once a year or sometimes when they get sick. My mother gets it, my friend get it, so i thought it was no big deal.

Today i've read some stuff about this "cold sore" and some people say the cold sores on the lips or mouth are herpes infection , and this is really scary because i may have infected my gf with this... If i did, how would she know? and will she see any symptoms right away or will they come later on? if yes when? we are both stressed out and we don't know what to expect. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Cold sores (Fever blisters On the outside of the mouth) and herpes are both caused by the Herpes simplex virus (HSV), however, they are usually caused by different strands of the virus and can be very contagious. Cold sores are typically caused by Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Herpes on the other hand is usually caused by a different strand of the virus called Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2).

Canker Sores (on the inside of the mouth) are not cause by Herpes and are ulcerations, can be caused by acute stress, trauma to the area in your mouth, allergies, or by a reaction to a particular bacteria.

Cold sores are generally contracted from skin to skin contact with an infected area. Kissing or rubbing against the infected area are common examples of how the Herpes virus particles can be transferred. Once infected with cold sores, the Herpes virus remains inside the body in a latent (sleeping) state.

Keeping this in mind, it is very important to avoid kissing and oral sex during an active bout of cold sores. Throughout your life the virus can then become "activated" causing a cold sore recurrence.

One Prescription treatment is Acyclovir . It is a pill that slows the growth and spread of the herpes virus so that the body can fight off the infection that causes sores to form around the genitals and rectum.

For preventing self-infection, Do not touch the area during an outbreak. If you do, wash your hands as soon as possible with soap and warm water. This will help prevent the virus from spreading further. You can try a herbal cold sore remedy that might be helpful.

Medical Advice Reply by: tkyrchncs
The common cold sore is herpes. If you'd like to be sure, see a medical doctor. There used to be a fairly sharp distinction between type 1, which primarily infected the mouth, and type 2, which primarily infected the genitals. The distinction is at present so blurred as to make no difference, and medical treatment is the same for either strain.

Penis exercise technique STI Cold Sores treatment Reply by: albdlsmThe best product for cold sores is Cicloferon . I came across it while on vacation in Mexico. As you know, exposure to the heat or sun can cause an outbreak. You can only buy it in Mexcio. It really works wonders and will actually stop one from coming out, if you catch it in time. It is like $5.00 for a small tube.

To anyone who suffers from them, check this product out. Anyone I know who travels to Mexcio, knows to bring be back a few tubes! Cicloferon really works.
