I need to know if my cold sore is healed & if i can kiss ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kiss away: Oral herpes is not a serous issue for an otherwise healthy person. You can spread the virus even when there are no sores. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.

If a cold sore is heal, can you be able to kiss someone on the cheek without infecting them?
I dont know if what I have is a cold sore. If it is, its pretty close to healed because its flat and theres no more scabbing. But it never hurt so Im not sure it was a cold sore, and I want to be safe and not give my bf herpes if I kiss him.
So if me and my bf both have like herpes on our lips and he still has a slight cold sore but mine just healed. Could I kiss him or would I get another cold sore the day after?
