    Yes, she can. Oral herpes is an infection caused by the herpes simplex virus. The virus causes painful sores on your lips, gums, tongue, roof of your mouth, and inside your cheeks. It also can cause symptoms such as fever and muscle aches. Provided is a link which may better address any of your other questions or concerns.

    Yes, the herpes simplex 1 strain is contagious and can be transferred through bodily fluids including saliva. Typically, if a herpes outbreak occurs because of contact with a blister, it will happen within a week's time. If a week passes with no symptoms, she may have dodged the bullet on that one.
