10 Cold Sores Symptoms
Nothing
Not all herpes simplex virus cases present with symptoms. Although many individuals experience mild-to-moderate signs, some are asymptomatic carriers. A person can have the infection without any cold sore symptoms.
However, even without the physical body response, people with HSV-1 can infect others through direct contact, such as kissing and sexual contact or sharing drinks, utensils and food. Asymptomatic transmission doesn't ensure the other person infected will also be symptomless.
