Some basics: HSV (Herpes simplex virus) PCR assay is the preferred test for detecting HSV from sores on genitalia. Herpangina manifests as small blistery lesions inside the mouth and is often associated with fever and caused by Coxsackie virus.

Herpangina means literally pain from herpes . Oral sex can transmit HPV to vagina and penis if there is virus in oral cavity
