Herpes: I have no idea what your physician really said, but it appears you have not been properly diagnosed. Sores do not in any way predict what type of herpes you have or even if you are contagious or not when you have a sore. First you need to know with a blood test what herpes you have. 75% of us have Herpes Type One (Herpes Simplex) and 25% have Genital Herpes. A person cannot get it again.
