If you have had contact with the virus, but have had the test too soon after the contact, you may still have the virus. There are several methods available to test for HSV-1 or HSV-2. These include virus culture, direct fluorescent antibodies study, skin biopsy, polymerase chain reaction to test for viral DNA, and serological tests, which are not reliable.

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 you have herpes 3 months prior to getting pregnant, you body has developed antibodies and it is less likely that you would pass it to the fetus.

Can you pass the cold sore virus onto someone by kissing them even if you don't have one at the moment Or can it only be transmitted if you have a cold sore on your lip?

yes you could pass it on fast to your partner. Yes. Some people are 'asymptomatic' which means they don't have any signs. i.e a coldsore/herpes but can still be shedding the virus and be infectious. Herpes can remain dormant for years, so it is also possible your partner has had it for a long time and is only having their first outbreak now. It doesn't necessarily mean you gave it to them.
