Oral stds affect back of your tongue?

Yes: Initial outbreak of hsv-1 has total mouth manifestations including the back of your tongue. But usually the entire mouth is affected. What exactly are your symptoms? See a dentist and have it evaluated and do not feel embarrassed. It is a common finding in patients.
