A member asked:
I had a cold sore 2 months ago .. if i rinse my mouth with hydrogen peroxide and then perform oral on my partner will she still get infected ? ( i suppose that the peroxide would cleanse out my saliva that could possibly still be carrying the virus?

No data on that-using peroxide. Depends on if you have herpes or not. Discuss with local Drs and to to CDC.gov and read all about it. Can be transmitted by kissing as well. I would also discuss with your partner.
