I found out today. And I love kissing as a form of greeting! They took that away!! This is the bitching and moaning thread for herped people.
What kind did you get? if it's the simplex type then it's not much of a health threat just an annoyance. I have the simplex type and I keep hoping they invent a cure soon cos on the rare occasion a I have a girlfriend I hate having to tell her I can't kiss her when I'm ill or when I've an outbreak cos I might give it to her.
The mouth kind. We're not sure on the severity of it yet.. I *would kiss everyone so it's hard to know who and who doesn't have it :\
Hahahaha.....(laughing about ppl. acting like its a big deal) I think actually most people have gotten at least one cold sore in their life. I wouldn't worry about it- just don't kiss anyone when you have one.
take a lysine supplement daily, use chapstick that contains lysine when in the sun, avoid eating nuts and seeds...this will supress the growth of the herpes virus and reduce outbreaks.
