Hi all,
My doctor said that I have HSV-1, blisters appeared on my lips again
10 days ago, however i still have the scar until now. I read that it
may pass it to my partner if i gave her oral sex!
but my question is,
Would i pass it over by kissing??

If yes, then what time is safe to kiss then???

Yup. that's possible.

The virus is transmitted by skin to skin contact so yes, kissing is a
common route of transmission.

>If yes, then what time is safe to kiss then???

Depends.
After the lesion has healed and pink skin has covered it, that's a
good indication you're good to go. No 100% guarantees though.
Asymptomatic shedding is always a possibilty, although that doesn't
occur all that often if you've been infected for awhile (year +).

On the other hand, the kissee matters. Oral Herpes infection is pretty
common and most people are asymptomatic. So if your kissing partner is
already infected with type 1, you don't have to worry about
transmission. Only way to know for sure, assuming no symptoms, is with
a blood test. Be sure to ask for a type specific test.

I agree with M2.
