Are Cold Sores And Herpes The Same?

I noticed that this girl in class had close to some bumps around her mouth and I asked her what was it and she said they were cold sores. What's the difference with that and herpes? Does it ultimate forever?
Answers:    Harley is correct.
sure is. oral herpes. and yes you can trasmit it to another individuals genitals when you have oral sex. even when you dont have a breakoout. be careful. it last forever. some people are born with it.
Cold sores = HSV1 and about 85% of people have this
es = HSV2 and roughly speaking 33% of people have (number would be higher if citizens would actually go out and get tested)

Yes they closing forever, but unless you plan on licking her sores you shouldn't worry.

P.S. you cant get that from a toilet seat -_- Source(s): works at infection disease clinic
