- D.

Correct Answer
C. Taking apirin to reduce pain and anaesthetic jelly to reduce pain.Explanation
The correct answer is taking aspirin to reduce pain and anaesthetic jelly to reduce pain. This is because aspirin is a common over-the-counter pain reliever that can help alleviate discomfort. Anaesthetic jelly, on the other hand, can numb the area and provide temporary relief from pain. Scratching and putting salt on open sores can worsen the condition and increase the risk of infection. Kissing another person infected can also transmit the infection and is not a recommended treatment method.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Practice safe sex or no sexExplanation
Practicing safe sex or abstaining from sexual activity can reduce the risk of spreading herpes because herpes is primarily transmitted through sexual contact.

Kissing someone with an active cold sore can actually increase the risk of spreading herpes, as cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus.Rate this question:

Can you move the virus from the location of the outbreak to other places on the body by touching the sore?
Correct Answer
yesExplanation
Yes, the virus can be moved from the location of the outbreak to other places on the body by touching the sore. This is because the virus is present in the fluid-filled blisters or sores that appear during an outbreak. Touching the sore and then touching another part of the body can transfer the virus, leading to the development of new sores in that area. It is important to practice good hygiene and avoid touching the sores to prevent the spread of the virus.Rate this question:
