A member asked:
Question about herpes simplex virus 2. is that the good kind?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Worse than HSV-2: There's no "good kind" of herpes, but hsv-2 is worse than hiv-1. It's sexually transmitted and causes recurrent genital herpes, whereas hsv-1 usually just causes cold sores.
