Catching a Cold Sore
My boyfriend has a small red bump on his lip which I thought was a zit. We kissed as usual (a lot) and not until this morning did he mention he thought it was a cold sore. Given it is still so small, what are the chances it is contagious and I will now get cold sores - I've never had a cold sore before.
This is an hiv forum where we assess possible exposures.You need to speak to your doctor about your cold sore issue.All the best
