A member asked:

I have oral herpes (hiv 1). if i kiss someone who has hiv 1 in their system will they get a cold sore?ive gotten cold sores since i was a kid.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not from your kiss: A person who already has HSV 1 in their system may get a cold sore, but it will not be from your kiss.
