A member asked:
If I have contracted herpes from oral sex(hsv1) on my genitals, will it be better managable than hsv2 or it will cause the same outbrakes?

A member asked:
I already had hsv1 oral, but now I have either hsv2 or hsv1 on my genitals. If this turns out to be type 1 on genitals, does that mean it will recur there now too, instead of just on the lips?
