Cold Sore Test
Should i confront my hook up about my cold sore?
I rarely ever break out with cold sores, but I feel one forming right now. I have been hooking up with this guy for a week now. I might be a hypochondriac, nonetheless I performed oral sex on him without a condom. Now I feel a cold sore forming on the right side of my lip. I actually like this guy, but I have a really bad feeling about this. Has he given me herpes? Should I confront him? Should I get tested? Help me..
It is more likely that you have given him herpes, actually, if you have got cold sores previously as you say you have.
Cold sores are herpes, if you have had them before then you were previously infected and couldn't have got this one from him - once you have it you don't ever get it again, and recurrent cold sores are just reactivaiton of the dormant virus.
Friction and stress can cause you to break out with one, so that may be why you have one now. My friend gets them when she has been making out a lot with her boyfriend because it makes her lips a little sore.
If you have a cold sore, and gave him oral sex without a condom, there is a good chance of giving him genital herpes - that is how I caught genital herpes - from receiving oral sex from a partner who got cold sores.
You are not only infectious when you have a visible cold sore, but definitely for a few days before, when you feel it coming, and for a few days after, and sometimes when you have absolutely no symptoms whatsoever.
My boyfriend hadn't had a cold sore for months when he gave me genital herpes - 70% is transmitted when no cold sore is present.
You should inform partners you have oral herpes before you give them oral sex because you are putting them at risk as surely as if you had genital herpes.
