Most oral herpes infections come from HSV-1 .These viruses are relatively common and about 254 million Americans have gotten oral herpes through oral contacts.
Touching or kissing, and sexual contact with the infected area spread oral herpes. The virus is more contagious if an outbreak is present although it is possible, but less likely, for the virus to spread even if there is no sign of an outbreak or a oral herpes lesion. A oral herpes outbreak or recurrence is most contagious until sores have completely healed when not even scabs are visible.
Some precautions you can take at further spread of the virus that causes oral herpes outbreaks is to wash your hands frequently and avoid touching the lesion. This is especially important because those lesions associated with oral herpes are the ones most associated with ocular herpes infections (herpes infection of the eyes). Take special precautions when around infants or very young children.
