How can I convince my gf that cold sores aren't the same kind of herpes as genital herpes?


She just hears that they're both herpes and doesn't want to have you know what.

The fact is, you CAN transfer oral herpes to the genital area through oral sex. Herpes used to be thought of as type 1 in the mouth, and type 2 in the genital region. This was not accurate. Today 30% of all genital herpes cases are type 1, and in the college age range 60% are type 1.

Your girlfriend is right. Herpes is herpes, but unless she has actually been tested she does not know if she is already infected. It is VERY common, and just because she has not had an outbreak she cannot assume she is clear of the virus. If she does already have it, it will be very hard for her to develop it in another location (not impossible, but hard)

She should visit her doctor and get tested just to be sure. She should know not only for this relationship, but for any she may have in the future.
google herpes, and print it out and show it, its the same
And she's right! If somebody has a cold sore, they should NOT be giving oral sex. You can pass the virus that way! And dude, it's WAY better to be safe than sorry here -- herpes is forever.
They Are the same.
Simplex One appears on the mouth whereas Simplex Two appears on the genitals. They can be passed from one place to the other - don't fool yourself.
You can get the clod sore virus on your genitals and the genital virus on your lips by having oral sex
cold sores are a type of herpes but i dont think they are the same kind of genital herpes...so basically jus get some info about cold sores to show her
Go to your doctor for more information in paper form and show it to her. Maybe that will work.
