don’t stress you probably don’t have it. Also some people have had it since young ages like 5yrs old or something because you can get it from sharing drinks and from parents kissing you etc. it’s not the same as the other hsv and eventually your body suppresses it unless you’re really stressed

HSV is periodically infectious (that's what getting a cold sore is) and it's possible for it to be infectious before the sore actually appears. that said, the actual reality is that you are overwhelmingly likely to already have it and just not have symptoms.

lol its cold sores its really not that big of a deal. like 70% of adults have it, itll be active for maybe a week or two periodically, just wash your cups extra good and dont let it touch your lipstick or whatever when its active

You can take medicine to deal with active infections but not much for asymptomatic existence if it
