Cold Sores and Herpes
by linlea, Oct 11, 2003 12:00AM
Sorry to post this here, but everywhere else costs money. I was just wondering if anyone here knows if the herpes virus can be transmitted from the lip version (cold sores) to the genitals. I have always wondered this and have never, in all my researching, been able to find an answer to my question. Anybody know?

Or put "cold sores transferred to genitals" on Google, and a bunch of things will come up. That's what I did and the above page came up.

The risk of transmittal is highest when you have a visible lesion. After the lesion is cleared up, you can probably get right back to...whatever...although you should always be practicing safe sex, anyway! There are a lot more dangerous bugs out there!
