If I kiss someone with a cold sore what's going to happen?

If you kiss someone with a cold sore/herpes virus sore, that person will contract the herpes virus. You are contagious with and without an outbreak. If you think you have cold sores or herpes, which they're basically the same thing, make an appointment with your doctor and have it checked. There's no cure, but there are ways to control the virus so that the outbreaks happen less and for a shorter time period. A herpes outbreak last from 5 to 14 days and once you contract the virus, it will remain in your body even if you don't have an outbreak. If you do have herpes, you are not alone. One in five Americans have the virus. However, educate yourself on the virus so that you don't spread it to others or to other parts of your body like your eyes and genitals. Be safe and smart.
