Should You Avoid Kissing Someone with Herpes if You Already Have it?

 

Should you avoid kissing someone with active cold sores if you know already have oral herpes in your system? I get a cold sore very occassionally. My new girl-friend is having her first strong outbreak. Can I get it worse from her? Or does it make no difference, because I already have it?

I went through all the symptons in the net but could not found anything similar than what my bf experience. Can the virus goes to the semen tube? should i go for blood test also?

Cold sores in the family

Hi,

Cold sores, also known as Oral Herpes, are not hereditary and they are contagious. But children very often get cold sores from relatives, a dry kiss is enough.

Cold sores are mainly contagious when there is an outbreak. It's not that common to get pills for cold sores, you should ask your boyfriend to see the pills to check that he's not lying to you.

At the same time, it's a very harmless condition, don't lay awake at nigth worrying about it.
