Cold sores are caused by a virus called oral herpes (also known as HSV1), this is easily detected through blood work just talk to your doctor about it.

yes if you have an cold sore in your lips the HSV1 will spread.Because the HSV1 virus spread the cold sore so keep avoiding kiss to the kids.
Can you get hsv1 from hsv2?
No, HSV1 and HSV2 are different viruses. You may be infected with HSV1 if you are already infected with HSV2, and vice versa, however, infection with one does not mean you will get the other unless you are exposed.
If someone has hsv1 and they coughed on there hand then took a piece of gum from you with that hand can i get hsv1 from then by then grabbing another piece of gum then putting it in mouth?
No, you need contact with the sore or fluid from the sore. It's really unlikely the fluid would get on your gum. Don't worry.
Does hsv1 turn to hsv2 in the genitalia?
No it does not. HSV-1 is a different virus than HSV-2.
What causes herpes whitlow?
Herpes whitlow is usually caused by HSV1. If you bite your finger nails while you have a cold sore and bite through the skin you could pass HSV1 to your fingers. Dentists used to get it on their fingers while examining people that had a cold sore, that was before they started using latex gloves.
Should you work in food shop with hsv1?
Approximately 80% of people have HSV-1. It is OK to work in a food shop.
Do cold sores automatically mean hsv-1?
Yes, cold sores are caused by HSV1 also known as oral herpes. But they are nothing bad to have and you can get them on the mouth with out having any thing to do with sex.
If you have oral HSV1 and your partner has genital HSV2 do antibodies from HSV1 protect you from contracting the genital HSV2?
The oral HSV1 and genital HSV2 arise from two different strains. Therefore, even if you break out from (or are a carrier of) HSV1 it does not protect you from HSV2 -- or vice versa. The best protection for both partners is to limit contact when each of you have an outbreak of either HSV1 or HSV2, and to use condoms to prevent genital transmission of HSV2 to the unaffected partner. Kissing remains one of the most common ways to transmit HVS1 and unprotected sex or intercourse during an outbreak, especially with weeping sores, is one of the most common ways to infect a partner with HSV2.
How do you holisticly treat oral herpes?
herpes is a virus that infects the nerve cells in your body. there are several serotypes (varieties) but the most common are HSV1 (herpes simplex virus 1) and HSV2. while HSV1 is more commonly "oral" herpes and HSV2 is more commonly "genital" herpes, both can be transmitted to either location. There is no treatment for herpes. once you have been infected, you are infected for life. A person can only treat the symptoms of herpes to make the outbreaks less painfull and of a shorter duration. There are no holistic remedies that have been scientifically proven.
Do people who have cold sores have herpes?
Yes it is a herpes infection but normally a different type. Cold sores are normally caused by Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV1) while genital herpes are caused by Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2.
If you are told you have a bladder infection because of symptoms but it is really HSV1 will the next outbreak happen the same way?
It can. However, HSV presents itself in many different ways. Do not count on bladder symptoms. It would be a good idea to get on a preventive medication for your HSV. Remember, you can transmit HSV even when you do not have an outbreak.
