How did you find this out? Did you get a fever blister or did you get blood work done? You have to have a professional diagnose this before you start worrying and even if you do have HSV1 it's not a big deal. They are referred to as "fever blisters" or "cold sores" and flare up when you get a cold , fever, or sunburn.

***********************************************************
Transmission of Oral Herpes
Oral herpes (usually HSV-1) has been detected in both the saliva and blood of patients with active oral infections. It is the most prevalent form of HSV, and infection is most likely to occur during preschool years. BUT ,Oral herpes is easily spread by direct exposure to saliva or even from droplets in breath. Skin contact with infected areas is sufficient to spread it. Transmission most often occurs through close personal contact, such as kissing. In addition, because HSV-1 can be passed in saliva, people should also avoid sharing toothbrushes or eating utensils with an infected person.

Transmission of Genital Herpes
Genital herpes is most often transmitted through sexual activity, and people with multiple sexual partners are at high risk. HSV, however, can also enter through the anus, skin, and other areas.
People with active symptoms of genital herpes are at very high risk for transmitting the infection. Unfortunately, evidence suggests about one-third of all HSV-2 infections occur during times when the virus is shedding but producing no symptoms. In addition, only about 10 - 25% of people who carry HSV-2 actually know that they have the infection. In other words, most people either have no symptoms or don't recognize them when they a appear
To infect people, the herpes simplex viruses (both HSV-1 and HSV-2) must access the body through broken skin or a mucous membrane such as inside the mouth or on the genital area. Each virus can be carried in bodily fluids (such saliva, semen, fluid in the female genital tract) or in fluid from herpes sores. The risk for infection is highest with direct contact of blisters or sores during an outbreak Clear to brown /yellow discharge with or no odour is sure sign
Treatment.: .Valtrex (valacyclovir) can keep outbreaks to a minimum, a good diet also plays part ,together will trying to keep stress down,& plenty of rest.

Hope this answered your question Cheers ♥Posted 2 years ago # -
It's nothing serious and poses no problems to your health, just an occasional cold sore or blister on your mouth. You can still have a relatively normal life and even enlist in the Military. Herpes doesn't affect the muscles or cause weakness. Many people live long healthy lives with both types of HSV. You can do any thing you want with your life. 50-80 percent of the population has cold sores, some people don't have out breaks and some don't know that cold sores are caused by oral herpes (aka HSV1) If it's on the mouth then you most likely contracted it during child hood by being innocently kissed by some one that has cold sores.
