See below: Means you have been exposed and had herpes simplex type 1 virus in the past (mouth herpes) which most everyone in the world gets exposed to in the 1st 5 years of life. No worries unless you are immunocompromised or are getting "cold sores" all the time. If so meds might be warranted. Talk to your doc.
