A member asked:
How long before a cold sore appears is the transmission rate high? my friend ate off my plate 10 days before cold sore appeared, is she at high risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very low risk: Very slim chance of transmission this way. Most people already have hsv 1 anyway. Contagious virus is very numerous at the time of a sore but is also present in small amounts between attacks. Incubation period from time of contact to onset of symptoms is 2 to 12 days.
