A member asked:
If i got herpes 1 virus from my boyfriend, wouldn't it be more likely that i got it orally because he kissed me a lot before ever performing oral sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Herpes simplex virus 1 causes 90% of oral herpes infections and 10% of genital herpes infections. Herpes simplex virus 2 causes the exact converse percentages of disease.
