Cold Sores

To the above noter: Yup, probably. Cold sores and herpes are caused by basically the same virus. Get tested for the virus – and let your partner(s) know.

Yes, there can be a connection. Here is some info about it for you.
Cold sores are another name for Herpes (HSV), there are two types of Herpes. HSV-1 (often called oral-facial herpes) and HSV-2 (often called genital herpes). HSV-1 is transmitted through kissing or sharing drinking utensils and HSV-2 is transmitted through sexual contact. Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 can cause infections around the face, mouth, and genitals. The infection may not show symptoms for a long time, and then become activated by exposure to the sun, fever, menstruation, emotional stress, a weakened immune system, or acute illness…..
