I have had coldsores previously, my latest one was august of this year and cannot remember when one before that was. So I know I’ve got HSV 1 in my body. But I’ve a question, 2 nights ago I hugged a friend and spoke in her ear ( we were at a wedding and band was playing loud ) and I didn’t see any coldsore on her lips at the time but the next evening she messaged me complaining how she was so exhausted and had broken out with 2 coldsores. My question is, am I at risk of a coldsore developing now since I was close to her or because I have HSV already in my body it won’t matter how close I was as my body is already infected with the virus? I didn’t kiss her and her lips didn’t touch her anywhere at all but I was in close range to her during hugging and talking. What I’m trying to ask is do I have to worry about a coldsore popping up as I could be reinfected again or no? Hope this makes sense. I’m very anxious about coldsores as I have a 8 week old baby and am aware and hyper vigilant about how dangerous they are for babies.
thanks to everyone in advance.
