    Not to defend a cristian- but coldsores are herpes, it’s just another word for the same thing and there is no specific genital variation of the virus.

    And herpes/coldsores are transmissible from sharing cups and kissing and a lot of other forms of direct and indirect contact.

      There are several forms of the herpes simplex virus, same virus different expressions (genitalis/labialis etc). Implying the sexually transmitted one was funnier.
