I had a kanker sore on my tongue today and I know it was just that, but then I didn't think about it and gave my boyfriend oral can he get the kanker sore down there?
Dunnworryjuzdoit answered Wednesday June 13 2007, 5:08 pm: nope, canker sores are not contagious, theyre just rather annoying. What is contagious is cold sores (a type of herpes) and if you had one of those make sure not to kiss anyone anywhere. But, canker sores are just things that come up and go away on their own. Dr's dont know the cause of them but, you can get prescriptions to help them go away. Girls usually in their teens and 20's get them more often than anyone else (sh!tty deal if you ask me) They are thought to be caused by a number of things (but not known for sure) like stress, allergies, menstrual period, etc. But, not to worry, your boyfriends safe:) [ Dunnworryjuzdoit's advice column | Ask Dunnworryjuzdoit A Question ]

I'm putting a link below that has canker sore information, if you scroll down the page a bit.
If you are, by chance, associating your canker sore with a cold sore, remember they are nothing alike.
Canker sores aren't caused by virus, and cold sores are caused by a string of herpes virus, which is, in turn, a completely different string than genital herpes.
Cold sores cannot be spread to genitalia either.
