Answers:
Haven't you ever heard of the herpes zoster virus, that's what causes the cold sores, if you get one, you'll have the virus for life!.

I know it's contagious but some people never catch it!. I've had those blisters on my lip and my hubby has never had a cold sore in his life!.

So don't blame him or be mad at him!. Read up on it and it will make sense to you!. Just be careful not to let his mouth touch you when his sores are open or oozing!. You're gonna be okay don't worry!.

It's not like he has a disease that he needs to announce publicly so that everyone knows he has it, i'm sure he's not proud of it, those sores are awful and itchy and very painful!.

Look around you and keep an eye out for cold sores, nobody's gonna tell you they have herpes, but they do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My boyfriend of 6 years gets cold sores (oral herpes) and has for the entire time that I've dated him!. I have not been infected with this!.

When he has a cold sore, we do not kiss or even have sex!. I don't want to scare you but there is a chance of you getting genital herpes if he gives you oral sex!. BUT this will probably only happen if he gives you oral sex when he has a cold sore!.

Just don't do anything when he gets them, and you'll probably be fine!. You've gone 8 years without having an outbreak!. Maybe you have never contracted the virus, but there is also a chance you already have it but you're just one of the lucky ones that never are affected by symptoms!. Either way, its not affecting you and nothing to worry about!.

Just don't do ANY skin to skin contact when he has one, and you'll probably be fine for the rest of your life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

honesty i'm not surprised that you're surprised to find out that your husband has herpes (cold sores) on his mouth!. Before I met Y/A, I didn't know ANYTHING about STD like herpes and other diseases !. Its ok for not knowing because cold sore is a form of the herpes simplux virus!. I wouldn't know that too if I didn't research more about this virus so don't freak out!. At least 60% or maybe 70% of the population has it!. Alot of people said 80% or 90% but I think the statistic is way too exaggerating!.!.!.!.or perhaps some people are carriers so they don't show symptoms but still, saying 80% of the people has the virus is ridiculous to me from my point of view!. None of my family, relatives or friends has it and I rarely (or never) met ANYONE with an active cold sores on their mouth!.

Anyway im sure you are also infected with the virus but it will take some time for your body to activate the virus!. Some people never have outbreaks and judging from your question, I think you may be a carrier as welWww@Answer-Health@Com

Cold sores are HSV1-herpes simplex virus 1!. Approximately 80% of the population have this!. Most get it from a relative that kissed them while they were young!. If he told you he had cold sores than he did tell you!. It's possible you have this but the only way to know for sure is to be tested!. As others have stated it is possible to spread this to the genitals through oral sex!.

Most people don't call cold sores herpes but they are!. I'll post a link to a good article!.

Okay!. Th only way to know for sure is to be screened by a doctor for herpes!. Once you know, there are great medications to help suppress further outbreaks!. Your husband should of been honest with you & also should of been on that medication and got some basic education from the doc on when to avoid being intimate to prevent spreading this disease!. You can spread herpes regardless of having an outbreak or not!. Oh dear he is in a lot of hot water!. If you got this you will have it for life!. I am so sorry hun!. Best wishes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A cold sore IS herpes, so it was never hidden!. Yes, you might have caught it - it's technically possible to transfer oral herpes at any time, although the chances of transferring it during an outbreak are significantly higher!. But don't worry too much!. Even if you have, you're in good company!. 80% of American adults have oral herpes!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

90 % of the U!.S!. population is infected with the herpes virus that causes cold sores or fever blisters!. Once you get infected, the virus lives in your nerves!. It can get reactivated by stress, fever, and dehydration!.

Herpes simplex (cold sore) can be spread during an outbreak!. Therefore, avoid intimacy when your husband's cold sore is in full bloom!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

At least it's only oral!. It could be worse!
I dated a guy for 3 years who got cold sores every once in a while!. Worst of all, they would spread throughout his entire face!
Just don't kiss him when it's happening, don't have oral sex, and you should be ok!
2 outbreaks in 8 years is actually really really good!.
