I had a positive igg hsv-1 test (negative igm) but have had no outbreaks or symptoms. im not even sure when i was exposed. how do i identify the location - oral or genitals? i know hsv-1 is usually oral but theres a growing rate of genital spread?

Primary HSV infections are usually mild, in fact, most are asymptomatic. 26% of US children have serologic evidence of HSV-1 infection by 7 years of age. More than 80% of the general population harbor HSV-1 in a latent form. HSV-1 infection in genital area can result from autoinoculation of virus from the mouth.

If you ever had a cold sore around the mouth, your HSV 1 is oral like it is in vast majority of people. More than half the adults have been infected with HSV 1. There is no cure. It may not be worth the trouble to sort out the location of the primary infection. Wish you good health!
