Can we kiss if we both have cold sores? And what would you do?
Question:
2)Also the second part of my question is if you found someone you really love and dated her for over 5 years in a really nice relationship. Would you kiss her if she has cold sores in her mouth so you could kiss her all you want when cold sores happen?
3)Would you break up with your long relationship partner due to cold sores and the limit of kissing you get?
Thank you=)
Answers:
If you and your partner both have cold sores it would not be a good idea to kiss until they are healed. You might both have different strains of the disease, therefore cross-contaminating each other. This could make the cold sores worse, plus kissing could spread them further around the lips.
2) If I had been in a relationship with someone for 5 years, I would wait until the cold sores healed before kissing again. If I was infected, I would not want to spread the cold sores to my partner.
3) I would not break up, I would think that after being together, you would love your partner for more than her kisses and holding back on kisses would not be the end of relationship.
P.S. when there are cold sores it is also a bad idea to engage in oral sex, even if it is only HSV-1, it can be transmitted to the genital area, therefore giving you or your partner genital herpes. Even when all symptoms of cold sores have cleared up around the mouth it is still possible to spread the disease, always use caution for any types of sexual activity.
yes something will happen. i would say do some research on line about cold sore and do ask you doctor.
no you never kiss anyone with a cold sore that's the rule. if they have one you wait until that thing go away. i would let her go to the doctor or go buy her some car mex.
Yes if you both have cold sores then the damage is already done just be careful not to kiss to roughly and hurt each other!
2. Yes I would say a little cold sore is well worth a long term relationship I would rather be able to kiss some one then worrie about getting there cold sore! if your going to be together anyway then what does it matter?
cold sores in or on the mouth are a form of herpes, they are contagious, and if you kiss this person , you are risking getting them as well, but that is no reason to not kiss, there are treatments for cold sores, and CAR MEX is not one of them, try abreva, and ask your pharmacist, kiss away...just wait until hers are gone!
