Does a person with cold sores always also have genital herpes?

No, not necessarily.

About 75 - 80% of the WORLD has cold sores; about 25% of the world has genital herpes.

Cold sores is A LOT more common then genital herpes. And, just because someone has cold sores doesn't mean they automatically have genital herpes. There are MILLIONS of people who have cold sores, but do not have genital herpes. There are also people who have genital herpes and not cold sores (me for example).

It's definitelty possible to have BOTH cold sores and genital herpes, but just because a person has one, doesn't mean they have to have the other.

Take care! Source(s): I have had genital herpes for 6+ years. I have never had a cold sore.

You can give someone genital herpes if giving oral sex.
no its a form of herpes but not the same kind
NO hell no..cold sores is not even a std. no connection between these two..dont worry
no because cold sores can be transfered from kissing

i think a high percentage like 80% of americans have cold sores

and 1 outta 5 adults have genital herpes
No. Cold sores are a form of herpes, but genital herpes is a different form. You can have one or the other or both.
