A member asked:

If i was given herpes and now have it vaginally if i have oral after my partner was in me would i also have herpes in the mouth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. J. Lawrence Dohan answered

No: You get it in 1 place. It does not spread to another area on the same person. Valacyclovir pills are effective and safe.
