Is Oral Herpes Contagious?
Hey this is really embarrassing, but today in health class my teacher told us about oral herpes and the symptoms sounded just like my cold sours. When I came home I asked my mom about it, she told me i had herpes one. I have never had sex of any kind, so how did I get this; I have had outbreaks for as long as I can remember. My mom said that it started getting bad when I was around seven. So my question is how did I get it? is it contagious? Will I have it forever? What can I do? and what is wrong with me?
