It is similar, but not the same. Well, they are and they aren't. Simply put, oral herpes is a virus that affects the mouth area, and genital herpes is a virus that affects the genitals. See the external link for more information.

You went down on a girl and you have a cold sore but it hasn't broke and it is not like other cold sores which just come up split scab then disappear this is just been a little lump. did i give her?
First off, most cold sores are caused by a Herpes Simplex virus, this is not the same as the virus that causes genital herpes. So, no, you may have given her the Herpes simplex, but it is not the same as what you are worried about. In fact, most of the population is now born with a herpes simplex, it is basically unavoidable.
If you have herpes or have had the chickenpox does that mean that you are CMV positive?
No, cytomegalovirus is a separate virus from Varicella Zoster virus (the one that causes chickenpox) and herpes simplex virus (which causes genital herpes and cold sores and related illnesses). It is possible to have all three at the same time, but they are separate viruses and if you have herpes or have had the chickenpox, it does not mean that you are CMV positive.

How can you get herpes herpes?
There are various kinds of herpes you can get but the most common ones are hsv-1 oral herpes and hsv-2 genital herpes. This virus is transferred by skin to skin touching. Which means that if you have sex with someone who has genital herpes there is a high chance that the condom won't protect you from the virus. Since the condom does not cover the pubic area where more then likely where the virus will be at. The same goes for hsv 1, if you kiss someone who has it then you might just get it.

Canker sores an cold sores are not the same thing. Oral herpes is caused by a contagious virus. Cold sores can cause a lot of discomfort or pain and they affect the out side of the mouth.

If you have herpes and your partner does too but you are not breakin out can you kiss?
I haven't heard or read anywhere that HSV I, cold sores on the mouth, can be transmitted even when there are no cold sores present, but HSV II, genital herpes, CAN still be spread even when no sores are present on the genitals. That seems a little confusing. It is called "shedding." I would ask the family doctor. And just a reminder to others: you cannot catch genital herpes just by kissing someone who is having an outbreak. Cold sores on the mouth (HSV I) are not quite the same as sores on the genitals (HSVII) There is now more investigation into whether or not oral herpes can be spread to the genitals, also that genital herpes can be transmitted orally. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is doing further research into it, but it does now seems possible that the two strains of the virus may have the potential for cross-contamination. I haven't found any information as to what this means and if the two viruses can transmutate into the other.
