A member asked:
If someone contracts hsv1 through the genetials, assuming they never had it orally, can they transmit the virus orally?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, both oral and genital herpes can be transmitted through either route as patients engage in sexual practices which allow its transmission.
