Autoinoculation is a procedure in which cells are removed from a person's body, treated or medically changed, and then placed back into the body. The procedure is done to help prevent an immune reaction or to help diagnose a medical condition or illness.

Autoinoculation can also refer to the movement of microorganisms from one part of the body to another.

Can you get a cold sore from biting your lip?

If the other person has EVER had a cold sore then you are susceptible to getting them. Regardless if they have an outbreak or not the herpes virus is still active. If you have a cut in your mouth or on your lips or if your lips are dry you are more likely to get them.== ==It seems to say that HSV-2 is hardly spread to other parts of the body (as it says below). I know that HSV-I can travel from mouth to the penis or vagina and vice versa. For many years HSV 2 was believed to be a painful and dangerous infection that affects people with an "active sex life". Genital Herpes can infect anyone who has sex, even if only once. An estimated 22% of adults from varying backgrounds, income levels and ethnic groups have HSV 2. HSV 2 is often so mild that an estimated two thirds of those infected don't even realize they have it. Type 2rarely causes complications and more rarely spreads to other parts of the body outside of the risk of autoinoculation that most often occurs during the primary episode.I got the above paragraph from: http://herpesonline.org/hsv1vs2.html but this site had misc info: http://www.suite101.com/reference/herpes_simplex_virus_2 ...just DON'T BELIEVE THE JUNK ABOUT THE ABILITY TO CURE IT! ~Peace~Yes, oral herpes can be transmitted by kissing.there are trace amounts of the disease in your saliva but not enought to pass it on through kissing.Contact with the virus is made with your mouth.
