Answers:
A cold sore is oral herpes, which is not the same as genital herpes!. The only way you could get your friends oral herpes is if she kissed you on the lips, or you could get it genitally if she were to go down on you (But you don't sound like those kind of friends)!. Even if she had genital herpes, you wouldn't get it from her swimming in your PE short, the virus doesn't live outside of the body for more that a few seconds!. And to clarify to all of these misinformed people, herpes is not contagious all the time, actually, aside from outbreaks, it's only contagious an average of 7 days a year!. It's just that because there is no outbreak present, you don't know which 7 days out of the year it is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

to make a long answer short NO!.
my explanation!.!.!.!.!.she only has a cold sore on her lip, not below her waist or on her privates!. also the chemicals in the pool would kill off a lot of bacteria!. if u wore the shorts u would not get herpes!. if u touched the cold sore then your mouth or privates then u could possibly transfer it to your body!.
if u kissed her on the lips or shared the same cup or utensils then u could get it!.
the type on your lips and they type u get below the waist come from the same virus!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

an std is only sexually given to a partner!. it can only be given thru sexual contact!. std's travel thru blood!. if she wore your pants and she left blood on them and you were bleeding than yes it's possible!. it's rare though!. cold sores, no!. the only way to get it thru cold sores is if say 2 ppl kissed and they both have cold sores and one or the other has an std and they have mouth to mouth contact!. cold sores "down there," only if you had one "there" and it met with the one she had!. but only thru sexual contact!. i don't recommend her wearing your garments but only cause if it were me i would'nt want someone wearing my clothes!. the same for men!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Herpes on your lip and herpes on your crotch are two different forms of herpes!. And you can't get a crotch herpe from a mouth herpe!. But you can get a mouth herpe from a crotch herpe!.

Just wash the shorts before you wear them if you are worried!. And yes I wouldn't go poking his/her sore!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Herpes is a virus and yes it is contagious!. If you touched the cold sore and then touched yourself you could get it!.Herpes also sheds all the time even when there are no lesions present!. It can be transferred at any time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A coldsore is Herpes Simplex ONE, NOT the STI Genital Herpes!. If you share a drink or food with her you can get the Herpes Simplex One!. Genital Herpes is only through sexual contact!.!.oral, anal and intercourse!Www@Answer-Health@Com
