Cold sore? Is it STI? Not only you should go see a doctor, both of you need to go together.

Most cold sore are due to herpes but may not be. My wife also has cold sore on her lips once and the GP was sure it was herpes but after a blood test, it was negative. Thinking back she has been eating kui chi and it has cut her lips, that's how she got the cold sore.

Go to DSC clinic for an accurate test.

If the cold sores are caused by the Herpes virus, oral sex should be avoided till the sores have completely healed.

She should get a proper diagnosis.

If the cold sore is from herpes, then i think it should be alright. Just have to be careful when you have oral sex w/o condom. Even if she is tested positive for herpes, there is nothing to be ashamed of...you just have to be more cautious. But from what i am reading...is it you are also worried about other STIs? Did you have sex with her without condom?

What the hell are you talking about.. cold sores are one of the most common infections on the face of this earth... 75 to 80% of the population are already infected with HSV1 by the time they are adults.

Most people don't have any outbreaks and are unaware that they are infected.

hi all,

i get some info on cold soar from internet:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are cold sores?

Cold sores, sometimes called fever blisters, are clusters of small blisters on the lip and outer edge of the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red and inflamed. The blisters can break open, weep a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. Complete healing may take 7 to 10 days.

See an illustration of cold sores.

What causes cold sores?

Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). There are two types of herpes simplex virus (HSV). HSV-1 usually leads to lip and mouth sores (herpes labialis), while HSV-2 most often leads to genital herpes. However, both virus types can cause cold sores or genital herpes if skin comes into contact with either type.

What are the symptoms?

You can be infected with HSV and have no symptoms. For some people, however, cold sores can be painful. Initial symptoms can include mouth soreness, fever, sore throat, or swollen lymph glands. Small children sometimes drool before a cold sore appears. After the blisters develop, cold sores usually break open, weep clear fluid, and then crust over and disappear after several days to a week.

How are cold sores diagnosed?

Your health professional can diagnose cold sores by asking you questions to determine whether you have been exposed to the HSV and by examining you. No further testing is usually needed.

How are cold sores treated?

Cold sores will usually go away on their own within a few days. However, if they are severe or cause you embarrassment or discomfort, cold sores can be treated. Treatment may include topical creams or ointments or sometimes antiviral medicines (such as acyclovir or famciclovir). Treatment may lessen the duration of the cold sores by only 1 to 2 days, but can help soothe painful blisters or other uncomfortable symptoms.

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) that causes cold sores cannot be cured. If sores develop regularly, treatment can reduce the number and severity of outbreaks.

How are cold sores spread?

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) usually enters your body through a break in the skin around or inside your mouth. It is spread through coughing, sneezing, direct contact with a cold sore, or touching contaminated fluid—such as from kissing an infected person and touching their saliva.

The virus can also be spread from one person to an area of someone else's body by touching an active cold sore or sharing things that a person who has a cold sore has used. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child.
