When is it safe to kiss someone is I had a breakout of oral herpes 1 week ago? How long should I wait? I just got married and can't wait to be intimate.
No, unfortunately your are not safe when your cold sore has scabbed over. Actually, you are never really safe, but the risk is greatest when you have a visible outbreak. If you use anti viral cream, you are a lot safer. But, talk to your spouse and consider not worying about it, after all, it's just a cold sore, not the plague.
