Reply To: HSV-1 or HSV-2 genitally, does the type change anything day to day?

It does make a difference, and it is generally the better news of the two.

Genital HSV-1 typically recurs much less often than genital HSV-2. Some people get a first episode and then very little afterwards. HSV-2 genitally tends to be the more frequently recurring one.
