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

One thing not to skip when you tell a partner: where the virus is matters more than which number it is. HSV-1 is extremely common orally, and oral to genital transmission is exactly how a lot of genital HSV-1 happens in the first place. Worth both of you understanding that rather than focusing on the label.
