Some information I read:
Cold sores are a kind of herpes simplex.

Cold sores are caused by a kind of herpes virus called HSV1. HSV2 causes genital herpes.

HSV1 can cause genital herpes. If anybody with cold sores touches other's genitals with mouth the other person will develop genital herpes.

HSV2, the virus that causes genital herpes rarely causes cold sores.

Most of us get infected with cold sores when we are children.

Once the virus HSV-1 enters our body, it never leaves.

After every episode the virus goes in latency phase in the body.

Many people are aware that a cold sore is about to break out because of the sensation they get in the skin before a day or two. They get tingling, burning itching or pain around their lips or mouth. This is called prodrome.

Sunlight, illness, menstruation, fever or stress triggers cold sores. Avoid these triggers to prevent outbreak.

HSV1 virus that causes cold sores is a very contagious virus. Anybody with active sores can infect others, Even if no active sores are present, virus can be transmitted.

HSV1 can be transferred to eye, genitals or fingers if you touch the sores and touch these areas.
