A member asked:
I kissed my husband on the mouth and kids on the cheek hours before i notice a itch or burn. there were no signs of a cold sore(s) prior. now i got two huge ones! is it true that there needs to be broken skin to contract herpes simplex?

Similar question to your previous one. See that reply. Broken skin is not necessary to catch herpes but probably raises the chance.
