Herpes (type 1), it was genital, does this mean i'll get genital sores or just cold sores?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hepes type 1: Herpes type 1 usually causes cold sores, or fever blisters, but can cause genital herpes.Usually type 1 virus does not like the genital area and chances of it coming back are much less than type2.But there is still a little cance as you just had it.
