If you have mouth to mouth contact with a person who has an active outbreak (a cold sore) you may contract it as well. Cold sores are caused by Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2). It is important to note that HSV sores can be spread by contact to other parts of the body.
Currently, while there are treatments available, there is no known cure for HSV.
