Coldsores and Feverblisters are the Herpes Virus
Posted on Friday, December 14th, 2007 at 10:35 AMHi, I had just red your web site about herpes. Well I just had an HSV blood test & tested positive for HSV-1. I’ve had cold sores & fever blisters in the past when I was a child. But I’ve never had them on my genitals…. Just a question, does everyone who ever had a cold sore has herpes simplex type 1??????? And they just don’t know that they do because they don’t know that all cold sores are from hsv-1?????? Or are their other things that could cause cold sores??? Maybe you can answer my question because im confused….
Cold sores and Fever blisters are the Herpes Simplex Virus. So if you have a history of this then you have Herpes and yes, it’s usually oral HSV-1. HSV is the virus that causes coldsores and fever blisters. It is also possible to contract genital HSV-1 through oral sex with somebody that has oral HSV-1.
