My boy friend contacted hsv1. The strangest thing I don't have a cold sore never have .how did he sl get it.
If you just have hsv1 orally - you don't have a std. when grammy kisses you as an infact with a cold sore on her mouth and gives you hsv1 orally, that is not a sexually transmitted infection. Kisses are not sex.
If you've contracted hsv1 in the genital area from oral sex, then you do have a SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTION because it's an infection you got from a sexual contact.
If you are someone who has hsv1 genitally then yes indeed you do have a std/sti. make sense?

Ok then he says it's an STD. I don't see what your really getting at with all of this is it a STD or is it not a STD.
Dr. Hunter Hansfield says differently on this message board.
He says that HSV1 orally IS considered to be an STD if someone transmits herpes via oral sex (mouth to genitals).
top of the page...in blue says herpes community...click on it
Can you tell me how to get to the herpes community?
Okay...then I guess I don't have an std either? This is really confusing...I thought the only way to get an STD was from someone who had an STD! And I did ask my boyfriend before we were intimate if he has any STD's and he told me "NO"...
So, I guess he answered truthfully...but he still gave me an STD...
I got an STD from someone who doesn't have an STD then???
First time for everything! lol
HSV1 is commonly found orally and less commonly gentialy. Since HSV1 is passed most of the time by kissing and over 60% of the population has it, it is not considered a STD.
You can post over in the herpes community for more info.
