Sorry hun but cold sores are caused by the oral herpes virus. You can't cold sores with out getting oral herpes. It's nothing to be ashamed of (you can get them on the mouth with out ever having any thing to do with sex), it's very common to have and it's not the end of the world people can still accept you even if you have a cold sore.
