I'm sure i havent gotten anything new because i havent had sex since. Yesturday me and my gf had sex and i thought this would never affect her because it is not any type of STD or anything like that, it's just something everyone gets once a year or sometimes when they get sick. My mother gets it, my friend get it, so i thought it was no big deal.
Today i've read some stuff about this "cold sore" and some people say the cold sores on the lips or mouth are herpes infection, and this is really scary because i may have infected my gf with this... If i did, how would she know? and will she see any symptoms right away or will they come later on? if yes when? we are both stressed out and we don't know what to expect. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Cold sores (Fever blisters On the outside of the mouth) and herpes are both caused by the Herpes simplex virus (HSV), however, they are usually caused by different strands of the virus and can be very contagious.
Cold sores are typically caused by Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).
Canker Sores (on the inside of the mouth) are not cause by Herpes and are ulcerations, can be caused by acute stress, trauma to the area in your mouth, allergies, or by a reaction to a particular bacteria.
Cold sores are generally contracted from skin to skin contact with an infected area. Kissing or rubbing against the infected area are common examples of how the Herpes virus particles can be transferred. Once infected with cold sores, the Herpes virus remains inside the body in a latent (sleeping) state. Keeping this in mind, it is very important to avoid kissing and oral sex during an active bout of cold sores. Throughout your life the virus can then become "activated" causing a cold sore recurrence.
One Prescription treatment is Denavir. It is a topical cream intended for use for treating cold sores on the lips and face. It is not intended for internal use or for mucous membranes inside the mouth or nose or for treatment of the genitals or rectal area.
For preventing self-infection, Do not touch the area during an outbreak. If you do, wash your hands as soon as possible with soap and warm water. This will help prevent the virus from spreading further.

The best product for cold sores is Cicloferon. I came across it while on vacation in Mexico. As you know, exposure to the heat or sun can cause an outbreak. You can only buy it in Mexcio. It really works wonders and will actually stop one from coming out, if you catch it in time. It is like $5.00 for a small tube.
To anyone who suffers from them, check this product out. Anyone I know who travels to Mexcio, knows to bring be back a few tubes! Compared to the prices of the products here (which I have used every single one!) Cicloferon really works.
