A member asked:
If i have hsv-1 on my genitals, can i spread it to my mouth and give myself cold sores?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HSV-1: Likely throughout you body already. It may or may not show up again. In mouth or elsewhere. Discuss with STD clinic. Uptodate.com has good discussion. You can also transmit it to sexual partners. I would let them know so you both can use protection.

Conflicting info online on HSV-1 - some say its only transferred through direct mouth to genital contact, others say touching cold sore on another person's lip then touching your own genitals also transfers it. Is it both or is it direct contact only?
