That painful cold sore you get on your lip every now and then? It’s probably caused by a type of herpes virus called HSV-1.
This virus is usually not an STD; it spreads easily among household members or through kissing.
But it can be spread to the genitals through oral or genital contact with an infected person.
Though there is no cure, drugs can shorten or prevent outbreaks. Signs and Symptoms: Occasional cold sores or “fever blisters” on the lips. Small blister or sores on the genitals are also possible.
