| Re: OK to kiss if cold sores in nose?
no its not really ok because people can 'shed' the virus even when the have no visable sores. that is how i got it. it is ok to kiss HIM as you said he already has the antibodies, but be careful about kissing other people such as friends or family members who have never had a cold sore before.
i got this from [url]www.herpes.com[/url] :
Both viral types are easily transmitted to their site of preference, and can also be spread to other sites. Both are most contagious during active outbreaks, but are often spread through viral shedding when there are no recognizable symptoms. According to Spruance, people with recurrent oral HSV-1 shed virus in their saliva about 5% of the time even when they show no symptoms.
