It means that the virus that two thirds of us have (Herpes Simplex Virus) is much more active in your body considering that for most people for the majority of time the virus is highly dormant.

The cold sores could easily be the result of something 'Simplex' over something such as a disease so don't worry about that! The most common cause for cold sores is Stress. It could be that your very stressed over exams or anything. If your worried about your cold sores and much more frequent outbreaks go to the doctor by all means. A doctor will be able to give you much better advice and perhaps prescribe you a helpful drug of sorts. If not, go buy something such as Zovirax, an over-the-counter drug that isn't cheap (Around £7/$10) for a miniature tube, but it works well and surprisingly the tube lasts a while!
