You know when people have cold sores around their mouth.Is it true? Someone at work claimed every cold sore is a sign of herpes or some sexual transmitted disease.

Day after christmas, asked some girl with a cold sore for her number. She gave me a fake number. So I might have dodged a bullet.:dwillhuh:

A cold sore on/around the lips is herpes simplex 1. Yes it can be transmitted sexually. If you see someone with a cold sore on their lips, I wouldn't share a drink w/ them or kiss them.
If they have a sore inside their mouth, it's a chancre/canker sore.

cold sores are caused by herpes. There are two types:

HSV-1 which is very common worldwide, and usually transferred as a child through kissing and sharing food, drinks or utensils.

HSV-2, which is sexually transmitted. About 20% of people in the US carry the virus.

Thank you Google.

cold sores are the std of the mouth, people try to down play it a bit but its still nasty. Basically anyone with a core sore is gonna claim the kissing one since its "not as bad" but you'll get herpes from either if there is a outbreak and you get that oral "satisfaction"

It is what it is though :yeshrug:

I'm glad I don't have hsv-1 my doctor told me I was the first young person he came across in a long time that didn't have it. I was never a big kisser and I never ate p*ssy while I was drunk.

Yes it is herpes 1

If someone has it don't kiss them nor have drinks with them or else you will get it

If you already have it. I heard exposing yourself to others with a cold sore on their lip can promote an outbreak on your lip.
