Cold Sores
by Shangjay, Jul 30, 2008 07:29PM
Hi, A question about Herpes:
1. I have cold sores all over my lips. Is Herpes the only possible cause?
2. I read that there are two types of Herpes - Oral and Genital. I'm fairly certain that I don't have genital herpes, but I have oral. Is oral herpes also an STI?
3. If I have oral herpes, how can I avoid passing it on to my wife?
Thanks!

If it is hsv1, then you could pass that to your wife if she doesn't already have it. She should get a type specific IgG blood test to find out.
You can get hsv1 genitally, so if you have a cold sore, avoid performing oral sex on her.
