A member asked:

If i just got genital hsv1 and my boyfriend had a sunblister on his lip a month ago is it likely from him?

Possibly: If you have oral genital sex, then yes. Typically, hsv 2 has been associated with genital herpes. But, with the increase in oral genital sex, there has been crossover with hsv 1 causing genital herpes.

Likely: That would be my guess, provided there are no other partners.
