Both cold sores and herpes are caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). There are two types of HSV - HSV1 and HSV2. Cold sores are usually caused by HSV1 and are mostly spread by kissing. Genital herpes are caused by both HSV1 and HSV2 and are mostly spread by sexual activity. At Candor, we can help you manage both.
