No no i do trust in your knowledge i am just curious to the reasoning behind why it wouldnt transfer that way. For example wet ink would have transfered in the way i described. What makes this virus unable to do so. Not that im compairing it to wet ink thats just an example

no you won't spread your own herpes to other body parts by touching a cold sore - it takes more than mere touch to spread it elsewhere. it's unfortunate that you've been given so much anxiety by reading unreliable information :(

If you don't think I have given you accurate advice, by all means pay to post to Terri Warren, our herpes expert , here on medhelp.

Can you explain why, i cant seem to find anything online that confirms. Some say if you touch your own herpes sore you can spread it to yourself, with that in mind this is assentually the same thing. If she touched it why cant she spread it just like his finger would have to himself

So the guy has an active open herpes sore on his lip, the girl kisses him, then kisses or performs oral sex on someone else minutes later.the virus cannot live long enough and or the girl was not shedding the virus so even though she came in contact with it she cannot transmit it yet?

you have to be infected with herpes and actively shedding the virus to transmit it. it won't live on the skin to be transmitted like the way you asked about.

can you explain why? it seems that the mouth is a warm wet place for the virus to stay alive for hours
