Note cold sores are visible on or around the lips. Don’t mistake them for canker sores inside the mouth. Canker sores are not cold sores and are not caused by the herpes virus. I’ve had canker sores off and on in my life since a teen (dental work mostly caused them).

However gum disease is a suspected cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Cold sores are a major factor in Alzheimer’s disease.

I had risky oral sex about two and a half years ago but was lucky enough to not get any cold sore – yet. I got a sinus infection and a secondary infection after that oral sex and also was prescribed Valtrex…just in case. If I recall correctly, I had a blood test for herpes and it came out negative. I also try to keep my teeth and gums in good health. I know better these days. I’d rather be celibate than to risk my life and be old prematurely just for an hour’s worth of fun. Life is short. At least I’m in my early 50s and if I do have the dormant herpes and it breaks out, at least I probably will die of something else in my early 80s before I get the terrible lesions described in the article.

If the article above is correct that 50% to 80% of young people have oral herpes, it’s a good idea to not do oral at all, but use a condom during normal sex.

I’m not religious at all. And in my experience, I met ministers who were fraudsters. Just because you claim to be pious (like the Tartuffe!) does not mean you are. I trust atheist nerds far more than extrovert social butterflies.

People pretend like herpes, hsv is TOTALLY normal to have. I feel like the world refuses to see connections between herpes, hsv and other illnesses because even our DOCTORS have cold sores.it IS a pandemic, epidemic. But whats worse is the severly uneducated of the world and even the educated continue to spread it out of irresponsibility and the fact that they are all infected. People die of herpes related illnesses just like the comment above..but i guess not enough people have died yet for anyone to take it seriously. I dumped my boyfriend because he refused to get tested for herpes, hsv. and i was quite sure he had it. I was called paranoid and over dramatic for caring about my own health. WHATS wrong with these people??

Not just herpes. My friend just died of cancer after a two year horrific battle, marked by chemotherapy that melted his 6’3″ 240 lb frame down to 130 lb. He had oral cancer that was linked to HPV – that’s right, he died from eating pussy. Which pussy, who knows ? Probably a teen slut he slurped back in the 1980′s while he was a musician. There is a rapid increase in oral cancers in men linked to HPV. See, your grandfathers were right, you shouldn’t eat that shit….
