If you have a cold sore and you lick your lips and develop tiny red bumps on your tongue did you just spread the HSV1 to your tongue?
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

Can cold sorse spread?
Cold sores (fever blisters) are caused by a herpes virus (HSV1) and it is related to HSV2 which causes genital herpes. They can be transmitted from person to person by kissing or oral sex. They can reoccur and can be treated by antivirals but are not cured. Cold sores can be sparked through stress, hormones or a sudden change in body temperature. As viruses thrive in heat, the best treatment I have found is the application of ice to the affected area, as soon a tingle is felt. If the sore has erupted, dose orally with Lysine Powder and apply Manuka Honey to the sore( both available from local health-shops ).
How common is oral herpes?
Genital herpes, also known as HSV-2, is a common sexually transmitted disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control, about one in six persons in the US has genital herpes, or 16.2%. However, as many as 90% of those infected are unaware that they have the virus. This is because many people have never have symptoms, or very mild symptoms that go unrecognized. Genital herpes is more common among females affecting approximately 1 out of 5 women. Genital herpes affects about 1 in 9 men. It is more likely for an infected male to transmit genital herpes to his female partner than from an infected female to her male partner. The only way to know whether you have genital herpes is to get tested. You should speak to your health care practitioner for advice. There are also numerous commercial health-care solutions available on the internet.
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.
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.
