HSV1 vs HSV2: The answers to these questions depend almost entirely on the virus type causing your genital herpes, i.e. herpes simplex virus type 1 vs 2. If HSV1, you may have no recurrences and transmission to sex partners infrequent. If HSV2, outbreaks typically recur every 2-4 months. Males and females have same symptoms: blisters/sores, sometimes with swelling and pain of lymph nodes in the groin.
