When you put the surgical mask on at bed time, I think she will get the message.

Sorry - should be past tense.

> I am kinda. Thats why I decided to face my fears and just thought " dude everyone has oral herpes…thats pretty normal." But now im realizing it was too risky. I am staying st her place right now. Tonight might be kinda awkward. She’s letting me stay for free for a week while im in town for business. So I hate to complain about it, she’s only got one bed too. So its kinda like im caught in a tricky situation. Besides her cold sore she’s a really hot and is nice. So im just gonna keep my distance tonight maybe though.

You make it sound like she has leprosy. Jesus, get a grip. Honestly, you’ve been exposed to all kinds of herpes virus in your life, including any cold sores, chicken pox and many other times you never saw any symptoms. If this is tripping you out then I suggest you look into some kind of anti-anxiety meds.
