HSV1 or HSV2?: Find a doctor with expertise in herpes. Often the best expertise is at a public health STD clinic or an infectious diseases specialist. It's very important for you to know which HSV type you have, HSV1 or HSV2. Frequency of outbreaks, transmission to new partners, and need for ongoing treatment are much greater for genital herpes caused by HSV2 compared with HSV1.
