A member asked:
Can i get herpes simplex 2 on my vagina from having oral sex that has herpes simplex 1 on their mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but,: Herpes simplex 1 & herpes simplex 2 are distinct viruses. You cannot get hsv2 from someone who only has hsv1, but you can get hsv1 in the genital area or hsv2 around the mouth. It is possible to have hsv 1 & 2 both in either the oral area or the gential area.
