If a person gets cold sores on their lips, does it mean?

they have genital herpies as well?If a person gets cold sores on their lips, does it mean?
No, herpes is a localised infection. It just means they have oral (mouth) herpes, which is usually caught as a child from an affectionate kiss form a family member or another child.





Oral herpes (cold sores) are usually caused by the virus hsv-1.





However, genital herpes can also be caused by hsv-1 - it is as likely to be cuased by hsv-1 as by hsv-2 - so if you allow someone with oral herpes to give you oral sex, and you don't have a history of cold sores yourself, you are putting yourself at the same risk of catching genital herpes as you would be by having unprotected intercourse with a partner who has genital herpes.





I caught genital hsv-1 from receiving oral sex from a partner that gets cold sores. He didn't have one at the time, and you don't need one to pass it on. Someone who gets cold sores is infectious for a proportion of the time when they have no symptoms.





However, no, someone with oral herpes does not necessarily have genital herpes, although it is possible to get both - if they had genital herpes, it would be a separate, unrelated infection, probably caught at a completely different time and caused by a different herpes virus.If a person gets cold sores on their lips, does it mean?
k scar is 100% right. it definitely does NOT mean that you have genital herpes.


now...with that said...


if you perform oral sex on your partner that person IS at risk for contracting genital herpes, especially if you are having an outbreak. and if you kiss your partner on the mouth during a cold sore outbreak and then your partner performs oral sex on you...that is how YOU can get it.


also...if you have an active cold sore on your face and touch it and then touch yourself on your genitals, you can actually give genital herpes to yourself.


complicated, i know.


be safe.


xxoxox
no that means u have herpes A


genital is where u get it in the lower area.


but 80 percent of ppl get cold sores so theres nothing to worry about.
It is herpes.





However, it doesn't mean they have it elsewhere.





But, a lot of people get genital herpes because someone who had a cold sore performed oral sex on them.
no it doesnt it mean they have herpies but not in a bad way it is possible it have been from the cold weather
they could have genital herpes on their lips. both are caused by the same herpes virus, are very contagious and can be transfered from genitals to mouth and vice versa. but usually it means that they have oral herpes because they are the same thing as cold sores.
definitely not. though it is possible that you can spread the virus from your mouth to your genitals by touching your mouth and then touching yourself without washing your hands.
No. You have Herpes Simplex (cold sores). There is a prescription medication to help with the symptoms and longevity of the sores.
