Cold Sores And Genital Herpes - Fact About Cold Sores And Genital Herpes And How To Treat Them

Posted: Feb 17, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

Hsv-1 is the virus that causes most cold sores . It 'prefers' the mouth. It is happy to infect the genitals - herpes is opportunistic - but it is less infectious once there than when it is on the mouth. Far from being a 'different' strain that cannot cause genital herpes, due to the popularity of oral sex and how common oral hsv-1 is, hsv-1 now also causes 50-70% of genital herpes infections!

When you have a cold sore is the most infectious time , and this most infectious period lasts from the very first warning signs before the cold sore appears - often several days before the sore - to at least five days after it has healed. However, just as with genital herpes, it doesn't take a cold sore to spread oral herpes to the genitals. Oral herpes is infectious about 10% of the time when the person infected does NOT have a cold sore.


My boyfriend and I thought he was only infectious when he had symptoms - and by symptoms I mean the slightest tingle on the lip, not just when he had a sore. Nevertheless, I caught genital herpes hsv-1 through him giving me oral sex when he was between cold sores. He hadn't had one for months, and didn't get one for months after.

My sister also caught genital hsv-1 from a partner that was infected orally but was not experiencing symptoms. That is why 70% of new genital herpes infections in women are caused by hsv-1, which most people regard as the oral herpes virus. Put some Vaseline on the mark and it will eventually go away. to keep them from coming back you can take vorverex (?) or some other herpes medicine daily and use a lip balm with 30 SPF daily. The sun will make them pop out and so will cold

    During an outbreak of cold sores, salty foods, citrus foods (oranges etc.), and other foods that irritate the sores should be avoided. Wash the sores once or twice a day with warm, soapy water and pat gently to dry. Over-the-counter lip products that contain the chemical phenol (such as Blistex Medicated Lip Ointment) and numbing ointments (Anbesol) help to relieve cold sores .
