Your cold sores most likely came from your mom, aunt or grandmother when kissing you as a child, since women love to kiss little kids.

Once you have developed antibodies to one type of the virus, the chance of transmitting the virus to another part of your body is about zero.

Since you have something going on that's not normal, you should have your doctor take a look at it.

This sounds weird but I have seen it done. This story sort of reminds me/makes me think that it is possible. Women do kiss babies alot. Some kiss their babies on their lips and others all over their bodies. I have actually seen someone changing their baby and then kiss them in the private area. So let's just say this mother had HSV then she just gave her baby genital herpes. The child then grows up having these outbreaks on their genitals and does not know where they came from because he had not been sexually active in anyway shape or form. SO it is possible that you got this from....
