Does a person with cold sores always also have genital herpes?
Question:
Answers:
No, not necessarily.
About 75 - 80% of the WORLD has cold sores; about 25% of the world has genital herpes.
Cold sores is A LOT more common then genital herpes. And, just because someone has cold sores doesn't mean they automatically have genital herpes. There are MILLIONS of people who have cold sores, but do not have genital herpes. There are also people who have genital herpes and not cold sores (me for example).
It's definitelty possible to have BOTH cold sores and genital herpes, but just because a person has one, doesn't mean they have to have the other.
Take care!
You can give someone genital herpes if giving oral sex.
no its a form of herpes but not the same kind
NO hell no..cold sores is not even a std. no connection between these two..dont worry
no because cold sores can be transfered from kissing
i think a high percentage like 80% of americans have cold sores
and 1 outta 5 adults have genital herpes
No. Cold sores are a form of herpes, but genital herpes is a different form. You can have one or the other or both.
No, cold sores are herpes simplex one. They are often not related. But it can turn into genital herpes through oral sex, so I have heard.
I was told that if you had a cold sore then it meant that you had herpies, from what I heard cold sore is a nicer was of saying "herpies".
Not necessarily. They are separated into Herpes simplex 1 and 2. What the person is lacking in their body is Lysine which can be bought at a health food store. You would be a pal to let them know, so they don't take poisonos drugs for it.
no, stupid. they're different kinds of herpes, i do believe. i get cold sores very rarely but im 100% there's none on my cooter.
No.
no, there are different forms of herpes. there is the std kind and then a different kind that is only cold sores. don't worry
Not necessarily. There are type one (oral) and type 2 (genital). However one can get either of the two on their mouth or genitals due to oral sex. Therefore if someone has a cold sore do not kiss them and oral sex to avoid transmission and vise versa,
Oh no I have cold sores right now! Don't scare me like that.
But no, having cold sores doesn't make that person ALWAYS also have genital herpes.
No, while cold sores are a form of herpes they are not genital herpes & someone w a cold sore does not necessarily have genital herpes also...BUT if someone has a cold sore & they preform oral sex on a person while they have a cold sore they can give the other person genital herpes as well as cold sores if they kiss them on the lips
No, but if you wish to know more go here http://www.gianteagle.com/healthnotes/co...
No.
Cold sores are a different virus from genital herpes. The cold sore virus is relatively benign... and your body will have it under control within days. The sore(s) heal... and you have to be reinfected for it to come back.
Genital herpies is incurable.
Note that its possible to get genital herpies by oral sex... but it tends to NOT have outbreaks on the face.
lmao...only if he/she can....not going there.....different viruses..but funny question....thanks for the chuckle.
No. A cold sore is Herpes Simplex 1 ... and genital herpes is Herpes Simplex 2 ... a totally different strain of virus. It has to be transmitted mouth to mouth, in Herpes Simplex 1 or sexual contact for Herpes Simplex 2.
not always.
because genital herpes is in your
genitals.
but you can give it to someone by having oral sex.
like the others said.
To answer your question, no.
Causes
Certain strains of the herpes virus cause cold sores. Herpes simplex virus type 1 usually causes cold sores. Herpes simplex virus type 2 is usually responsible for genital herpes. However, either type of the virus can cause sores in the facial area or on the genitals. You get cold sores from another person who has an active lesion. Shared eating utensils, razors and towels may spread this infection.
Once you've had an episode of cold sores, the virus lies dormant in the nerve cells in your skin and may emerge again as an active infection at or near the original site. You may experience an itch or heightened sensitivity at the site preceding each attack. Fever, menstruation, stress and exposure to the sun may trigger a recurrence.
Mostly not. A herpes infection is localised in the area it was caught, so if someone has type 1 herpes on their mouth it is not infectious on their genitals and vice versa. A person two has type 1 on their mouth though could still catch type 2 on their genitals - this would be a completely separate infection.
Someone who has type 1 herpes on their mouth (cold sores) can give their partner genital herpes type 1 by giving them oral sex, if that partner does not get cold sores themselves because this would provide them with protection against catching the same type again. This is even true if the person with cold sores does not have one at the time.
If you have never had cold sores or genital herpes, and you practice oral sex on a regular basis as well as unprotected intercourse, you are as likely to catch genital herpes from a partners oral infection as from a partners genital herpes. If you had a partner with both, and you used condoms, your likelihood of catching genital herpes from their oral infection might be twice that of getting it from their genital herpes.
When you have a wart or cold sore...you have the HPV virus..which is what produces herpes.So if you have cold sores/warts, then you have the HPV virus but not technically herpes..
Cold sores are oral Herpes while genital Herpes is genital Herpes. You can have none, one, or both but having one does not mean you have the other.
The site of preference for HSV1 is usually the mouth while HSV2 is usually the genitals. However, there can be cross infection in either direction.
Both oral and genital Herpes are incurable but tend to become dormant in the body after time so that symptoms become less and less.
Here is a good article that talks about HSV1 vs. HSV2 and points out the misconception that HSV2 is considered the "bad" virus while HSV1 is "just a cold sore."
http://www.herpes.com/hsv1-2.html...
Also, the person who said Herpes is caused by HPV, they are just simply wrong. HPV is a seprate yet also incurable virus with its own symptoms and complications.
def not it just depends where you were infected
no...if its on ther mouth they have Herpes Simplex Virus 1...if its in the genital area its Herpes Simplex Virus 2
Two different viruses but, they are closely related. HSV 1, HSV 2. One is responsible for oral herpes and the other is responsible for genital herpes. HSV 1 ( Herpes Simplex Virus) is responsible for oral herpes( cold sores). HSV 2 ( Herpes Simplex Virus) is a sexually transmitted viral infection of the urogenital tract ( lower urinary tract and the genital region). Vesicular ( weeping fluid like substance) lesions ( sores) may occur on the penis, scrotum, vulva ( inner vaginal folds), perineum ( the area between the penis or vagina near the butt., vagina and cervix. There are blood tests that can determine which type that a person has. In addition, if there are signs of genital herpes, the Doc will swab the region to be tested. I hope that this has helped.
