A member asked:
I had a cold sore last month is it still contagious ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oral herpes: Once healing is complete -- usually within 2 weeks -- contagiousness is minimal. However, it is possible to transmit the virus when no sores are present -- much less common, but still possible.
