my boyfriends problem
I'm dating a guy right now. he's really smart. i'm not just saying that because i'm dating him. he really is quite intelligent. he has a sore on the inside of his lip. he says it's herpes, but that oral herpes isn't contageous. that doesn't sound right to me. i always thought it was contageous. i looked at the sore and it looked nothing like herpes, at least not like the pictures i've seen in school. i don't know much about herpes, but i know i don't want to get it. i really don't know what to do.

Your boyfriend could have one of three things:
1) he could have Herpes, but it usually occurs on the outside of the mouth. Usually. Very rarely does it occur inside the mouth. Also, most people have Herpes and don't really know it. Once you get it, it lies dormant in your body and you only realize it is there when the sores come up.
2) He could also have canker sores. Canker sores are what usually occur inside the mouth. They aren't contagious, just unpleasant for whoever has them.
3) Also, bumps can rise up in a person's mouth that are neither Herpes or canker sores. I didn't know this, but I was having the same problem so I asked my doctor, and she said that what I had could have been caused by a variety of things. But she said it was not contagious.
I can't say for sure what your boyfriend has, and neither can he. To be really careful, make him get a doctor's opinion. If the doctor says he isn't contagious, then don't worry! If you still aren't sure or he doesn't want to go to a doctor, then don't kiss him or drink after him until the bumps go away. Sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry. ;D

#1 rule.when a someone has a disease understand that theyre probably in denial about it themselves.which is why the guy your dating told you herpes was not contagious.
Either he was lieing or hes not very educated about herpes lol.
The thing is, when a person has herpes its ok to kiss them if they dont have an outbreak at the time.(aka you should probably wait till it goes away to take the risk) and if it doesnt go away, make sure he sees a doctor.you dont want to get herpes.It wont be very pleasant.
=] good luck

It might be a kanker sore... And he's just like doing it to get a rise out of you, but yeah I agree with the other answer-er ? Hahahaha... Go get it checked out WITH him. :]

I would definately MAKE him go to a doctor or something to get it checked out. It would suck if you get it too. Go with him to the doctor and discuss options such as treatment and if that would mean if you are protected as well. Go to a planned parenthood office to ask these questions..they are extremely helpful. You can also call them on the phone to ask questions. Dont take any chances! STDS are nottt cool hun!
