Can genitals herpies be on your lip like a cold sore?


Please answer if you know for sure. Thanks

Yes. Cold sores and genital herpes can be the same strain of herpes simplex. So, if you perform oral sex on someone when you have a cold sore, they can contract genital herpes (and vice versa).

there are two types of Herpes: HSV 1 and 2.

YOU CAN GET EITHER VIRUS ON THE MOUTH OR GENITALS, although 1 appears more on the mouth, and 2 appears more on the genitals.

Cold sores on your mouth ARE herpes. But the only thing that makes genital herpes genital is the location. So, no, there is no such thing as "genital herpes on the mouth" However, you can get the same virus in either place.

75% of adults have oral herpes. But since they often have type 1, they can go decades without an outbreak, so many people don't realize they have herpes.

But if you and your partner both have the same strain of oral herpes (which happens a lot) you cannot give them genital herpes.

genital herpes are on genitals thus the reason they call it GENITAL herpes... coldsores are on your mouth... HOWEVER, coldsore are usually caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and genital herpes is ussually caused by herpes simplex virus 2 (hsv-2). but both can be transmitted to the mouth or genitals

coldsores can be transmitted to the genitals via oral sex with or without symptoms present making it genital herpes type 1, at no point in time will hsv-1 turn into hsv -2.

hsv-2 is ussually transmitted through intercourse, but if there is a visible sore and comes into contact with your partners mouth then it can be transmitted to their mouth, making it oral hsv-2 (which is very rare)
