you can't Sometimes a a person with herpes may have sores around the area of infection (genitals, mouth, or even their hands). However, a person may have mild or no sores at all from herpes during an initial or later outbreaks, and a person still has the potential to infect any sexual partners whether they are having an outbreak or not. There are people who have herpes who aren't even aware that they are infected. The safest way to prevent getting an STD is using condoms everytime you have sex, getting yourself and any partners you have tested at a doctor or a public health clinic for STDs. Just because you are monogamous to a partner does not mean that they do not have other sexual partners. You cant tell if a person is infected with the virus if they dont have sores. Some times people dont even know they are infected with the virus, this is because they dont show any kind of symptoms, it all depends on their metabolism. To know if a person is infected with the virus there are some medical tests blood (tests).

If was kissed and in the same time receive oral from hsv1 infected person can I get infection in both body parts?
When you are infected with herpes of any strain it is a systemic infection. But, sores usually only appear at the site of initial contact. No one really knows why. So, you could have sores both orally and otherwise. But, most people (80%) have some form of herpes and most people never show any signs of infection. So, it really isn't a big deal. If you get cold sores from the oral contact just use OTC medicine and if you get genital sores after the first breakout or two talk to your doctor if they are painful. Usually you won't need much treatment after the initial breakout. You will want to tell any partners you have after this one about your herpes BEFORE you expose them to it. :)
Why do you have a cold sore if you are a preteen haven't kissed anyone and haven't shared drinks or utensils?
Cold sores are a form of herpes simplex. there are two types of herpes simplex, primary and secondary. Primary herpes is when you develop canker sores inside your mouth. Cold sores, also called fever blisters are secondary herpes and develop on the outside of the mouth and lips. As a child someone will usually pass herpes simplex (canker sores) to us innocently as a virus passed from adult to child. Later in life, flareups of the virus present as cold sores. Flareups can be triggered by stress, anxiety, cold, fever, injury to the mouth, dental work, food allergy, sunburn on your lips, etc. You can usually tell when a cold sore is developing because of the tingling in the skin in that area. If you start taking Vitamin C as soon as this tingling starts it will heal more quickly. Apply an over-the-counter product to assist in healing and wear lip balm with SPF protection to avoid further cold sores.
