About oral herpes...: Oral herpes (usually type 1) is considered universal, meaning a majority of adults have it, and caught it in childhood or adulthood. Kids catch oral herpes from their parents, siblings, or friends. If one has oral Herpes type 1, then she should have protection against type 1 virus from infecting other places on her body such as her genitals. A blood test after an outbreak can help verify herpes.
