A member asked:
Is oral hvp more serious than genital hvp ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hsv 1 is very common and most people have detectable antibodies to hsv1, which cause cold sores (oral hsv), etc. Hsv-2 is genital herpes and is more problematic to deal with, both physically and mentally for patients.
