Is Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 a STD?

It is considered an STD by most people but a lot of people have Herpes Simplex Virus 1.

If you feel like a cold sore is coming, you can take Valtrex (prescription pill and it's not cheap) and it will either make it not come or it will help heal it significantly sooner than without taking it. It works much better than Abreva and any other remedies out there.I dont feel so.

Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2), also known as Human herpes virus 1 and 2 (HHV-1 and -2), are two members of the herpes virus family, Herpesviridae, that infect humans.[1] Both HSV-1 (which produces most cold sores) and HSV-2 (which produces most genital herpes) are ubiquitous and contagious. They can be spread when an infected person is producing and shedding the virus.

HSV-1 and -2 are transmitted from contact with an infectious area of the skin during reactivations of the virus. Although less likely, the herpes viruses can be transmitted during latency. Transmission is likely to occur during symptomatic reactivation of the virus that causes visible and typical skin sores. Asymptomatic reactivation means that the virus causes atypical, subtle or hard to notice symptoms that are not identified as an active herpes infection. Atypical symptoms are often attributed to other causes such as a yeast infection.

Consult a Skin/VD first. But, please don't look for any medical advice in this forum.
