Can hsv-1 mutate to hsv-2 if i perform oral on my partner? i have hsv-1 and my partner has hsv-2. she says i gave it to her. is this possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. HSV 1 virus does not transform into HSV 2. However, HSV 1 can cause infection of the genitals from oral sex, if the person had no prior exposure to HSV 1. For info: https://www.cdc.gov/std/herpes/stdfact-herpes.htm
