You're not going to catch a cold from the same virus serotype again right after getting better. However, you can still get another cold from a different virus serotype or a different virus. When you get sick, you develop antibodies for the virus serotype you've caught, Dr. Greninger explains.

Read More »Well, it’s happening. After slogging through a cold, you can finally breathe again...right as you start to hear sneezes, sniffles, and throat clearing from your partner, cubicle mate, or someone else who’s basically always in your space. Looks like your old cold has a new home. The last thing you want is to get steamrolled again by the very illness you just kicked. But is that even possible? Here, infectious disease experts lay out the science behind catching the same cold twice. First, you should know that several different and extremely disrespectful viruses can cause the common cold. They include rhinovirus (the usual source of the common cold), respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza virus, adenovirus, coronavirus, and metapneumovirus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). All of these can prompt symptoms associated with the common cold, like a runny nose, cough, sore throat, sneezing, headache, and binge watching Outlander for so long that you start thinking in a Scottish accent. Each virus also has subcategories of genetic diversity called serotypes (or strains), Alexander L. Greninger M.D., assistant director of the University of Washington Medicine Clinical Virology Laboratory, tells SELF. Rhinovirus, for instance, has over 100 serotypes, Dr. Greninger explains. You’re not going to catch a cold from the same virus serotype again right after getting better. However, you can still get another cold from a different virus serotype or a different virus. When you get sick, you develop antibodies for the virus serotype you’ve caught, Dr. Greninger explains. This keeps you from catching it again right away. But those antibodies won’t necessarily protect you from other forms of the virus. Say you catch the serotype HRV (human rhinovirus)-A60, then improve right as your partner catches HRV-C17. You could get the common cold again if your body is vulnerable to that new rhinovirus serotype. Alternately, you could have just triumphed over a coronavirus then come down with a rhinovirus from your cubemate soon after. Yes, it seems unfair. File your complaints with evolution and let us know when you hear back. This doesn’t mean that you’ll always get sick if you’re exposed to a virus or virus serotype that’s different from the one you just got over. You may have developed antibodies for some circulating virus serotypes thanks to previous colds. Also, even though it’s not a guarantee, sometimes antibodies for one virus serotype do protect you from closely related serotypes, according to Merck Manuals. Although it’s possible, it’s pretty unlikely that you’ll catch two colds back-to-back in the same cold and flu season. It’s rare that two cold-causing virus serotypes are circulating with the exact same intensity at the exact same time of year in a community, Waleed Javaid, M.D., director of infection prevention and control at Mount Sinai Downtown, tells SELF. So, if you get sick and someone in close proximity gets sick right after you, you may both have come down with the dominant serotype, against which you’re already protected. (Of course, they may have traveled and caught a different dominant illness from somewhere else, but generally speaking, they probably just caught your cold.)

You make antibodies in response to the virus, and they prevent you from spreading it to another area. They also make it unlikely that you will catch it again.
You catch cold sores by being kissed by someone who has cold sore virus on their mouth. You might have caught it the other day – or maybe when you were a child, perhaps by being kissed by a relative. Oral sex is also a common way of passing on cold sores from one person’s genitals (genital herpes) to another person’s mouth – or vice versa. The virus can be caught on ordinary skin such as the hand/fingers if there is broken skin which can allow entry. It is called a whitlow on the fingers. Cold sores are only caught by direct skin contact, with the affected area. They are not caught through sharing cups, cutlery, towels, lipstick, etc. (unless there is warm pus on the item). Experts are definite about this, though this fact is sometimes ignored by unreliable sources on the Internet and elsewhere.
