A member asked:
I've got an outbreak of herpes on my chin. it hasn't affected my lips. if i put a plaster over it, can i still kiss?

Still be careful: Herpes spread by direct contact, especially if active lesions are present. You should be careful to avoid ALL contact with others to avoid spreading the disease.
