sore lips in children

I talked to her about her sexual history (it may have been my paranoia, but I kept looking at her lips and noticed a tiny line which I imagined to be a crack in the skin. In hindsight this may just have been anxiety on my part). The woman explained that she had 4 children and just 3 sexual partners in 8 years, 2 of which were long-term. The third was a Turkish man she met at a holiday resort in Turkey last year and condoms were used.

My mouth was most likely not wide open. I have a small sore inside my mouth (right by my lips). My lips were also quite dry when she kissed me for a second. Is it possible for me to contract hiv if her lips were also quite dry and may be had blood on them. Also what if she licked her lips with her tongue before kissing me. What if the saliva when she licked her lips contained some blood from her mouth. Am at risk of hiv for this situation.

Hi. So I've been very scared lately. I recall having a cold sore years ago, when I was in the seventh grade; considering that I've only kissed one boy, and I've only been with that boy since then. I am not sexually active. But I don't remember ever seeing him have a cold sore on his lip; plus i was the only girl he has ever kissed.

But even if she had HIV, you are not at risk. The dryness of her lips, the sore in your mouth, and lip licking make no difference. Anticipating the kind of question that often follows threads like this: No, you do not need HIV testing, assuming you have no other HIV risks. And yes, you can safely have sex with your regular partner.

I'm fourteen and in good health , so how much is my risk?

How likely is the spread of a herpes cold sore on my lip if I do not engage in ANY oral sex, or NEVER touch my lips with my hands? Because I make an effort to NEVER touch my lips even when I don't have cold sores. Can sold sores "realistically" even be transfered to other parts of the body if your not having oral sex? What would the chances be and so on?

So I would need direct contact with her sore? She only gets them under her eye, not lips. Don't people shed from their lips and eyes regardless of where the infection is?

You can in theory get a cold sore anywhere on your face. The most common areas are lips and just inside your nose close to your face. However, chin and cheek are also possible sites of outbreaks just rarer. I think it best to keep all lesions away from your baby and covered if this is possible.

Also occasionally I have a sore throat just on the right side, it normally only lasts a day or so.I have never really worried about this, but do you think it could be active OHSV2? What if it was active and I kissed my children or shared a drink? Do you know if there is a real risk?

Also, I spent the night in the hospital with a friend, and I didn't have the chance to shower until this morning...would that have any bearing on the virus possibly staying on my person, or is it safe to assume I somewhat took care of it with the sanitizer?

I think I have cheilitis. My lips look something like this (there are not my lips however) http://img.tfd.com/mosby/thumbs/500038-fx22.

For lips I found good old-fashioned bag balm to work wonders (it has lanolin in it) and for the nighttime "leather tongue", mouth moisturizing gel by Oragel worked good.

but when you stop to think about it, you wonder when in American culture it became custom for adults to kiss children on the lips? My mom kissed me on the forehead or cheek when I was a kid. If my face was dirty she occasionally would moisten a tissue with her mouth and use the tissue to clean my cheeks. I guess her mom did the same. It just was not in my family culture to kiss a child on the lips. I recently had a complete suite of STD blood tests and all came back negative.

The percentage of the population that has hsv or herpes 1 (cold sores on the lips) is very very high. Many get it as children. You can get herpes 1 from sharing a cup theoretically. It's unlikely though. Possible? Yes. Probable? no. And herpes 2, no. That's not a concern at all.

I had harpies on my lips and everywhere in my mouth but after i got over it the bump keeps appairing in the side on my lip I don't know what it is. Can you help me?

A day and a half later, I started developing symptoms of genital herpes - minor pain in the groin area, a little tingling, and one area that is slightly sore but not red. But no bumps or blisters. As soon as I realized I had a cold sore I was really careful not to touch my lips and to wash my hands frequency. With such a low risk, I think my symptoms must be psychosomatic, but am still really worried. Any similar experiences? Can psychosomatic symptoms be this specific?

The nasal cavity, lips and eyes are what are typically involved in facial herpes (a VERY common virus that even children often get). Even touching a spot that was kissed and then your eyes. That's really an unlikely scenario. This really doesn't sound like something I'd be concerned about.

2) I still feeling my body is a bit weak and one of my lymph nodes is still swollen and my lips having a cold sore, is it a sign of HIV ? ( I went for HIV test but it shows negative for HIV ) 3) Can HIV silence or hidden for many years , and shown up several years after ?

I am 34 weeks pregnant with my third child, and have two other children under 3. I have a cold sore break out once every three weeks or so when not pregnant, but my children have *never* had cold sores (and neither has my husband). As per my dermatologist and OB, I will start valtrex after 36 weeks to cut back on viral shedding. Thank you for your responses to my last post.

no this isn't a risk for your kids. don't kiss your kids on the lips or eyes and it's really not a risk for them. still plenty of body parts to smooch them on when you don't have an obvious cold sore and transmission through other ways isn't really a concern. never put a pacifier in your mouth to "clean" it either.

Last year I tried a new toothpaste and it gave me little sore bumps on the inside of my lips and they went away when I switched back to a different toothpaste. I am not sure about the lupus/crohns, but I hope it starts feeling better soon. Mouth problems are no fun and being anxious about it makes it all feel worse :( Hope you feel better soon!

I have had sore lips with a red ring around the outside of them. They look terrible and feel like they are puffed up. I use Chapstick and Vaseline, but nothing helps. Some people say use B12, but I've taken that every day for years. I have not been to a doctor because it seems like they don't diagnose anything. Does anyone have any help for me. This has been occurring the past year and I've changed nothing in my life and I don't lick my lips.

Can you infect an open cut on your lip with the cold sore virus if you haven't brushed your teeth since an old cold sore from saliva?

Thanks for the response ! .. I've had 3 other sexual partners in the past and received oral from 2 of them , but I havnt touched another person in over 3 years .. he's not 100% sure what showed up on his lips as a kid was hsv ... and to add: about a week after my genital outbreak he got a cold sore on his mouth which is what made him think about the "cold sore" like things on his lips in the past .

I hope someone here can ease my mind. I've had HPV for 4 years and just 1.5 years ago, I contracted HSV. Never been promiscuous and was in relationships with both. I was tested in March of 2007 for HSV and it was negative. In June of 2007 I dated a guy until January 2008. In October 2007, I found out I contracted HSV2 from my b/f. Last year I signed up on a STD dating site and met a guy who had HSV1, HSV2 and HPV.
