What is HSV 2?

HSV 1 is the virus that causes oral herpes which is what causes cold sores and fever blisters on the mouth. HSV2 causes genital herpes, usually located on the genitals, inner thighs, buttocks or anus. But HSV1 can affect the genitals. If some one with a visible cold sore gives their partner oral sex they could pass cold sores to their partners genitals. Also HSV2 can affect the mouth. If some one gives their partner oral sex around the time they have a break out of herpes then they could pass genital herpes to their partners mouth.

If a girl has a cold sore does that mean she has herpes and are they contagious?

Cold sores are "Herpes Simplex Virus 1" which are highly contagious. People with HSV1 are the leading cause for new outbreaks of HSV2. (below the waist). The herpes virus can live for up to 8 minutes of the body. Don't eat or drink after the infected person. When there is no sore you cannot contract it. Canker sores are not a HSV but sores brought on by eating things very high in acid. Like lemons and pineapple. Hopes this helps.
