Cold Sores Vs Herpes
Ok... Stds and kissing, vs oral sex?
Im very confused, i've read about 10,000 articles about this. K im a guy, my gf performed oral sex on me. She doesnt have hsv2, but lets just say she did. If I had kissed her before having oral sex would kissing alone be enough for hsv 2? Are hsv 1 and hsv2 the same virus, but called oral herpes or genital herpes because of where they are located in the body? If she had cold sores in her mouth, she would have hsv1, if she performed oral sex on me it would be hsv2? Im very confused about this, anyone please 
HSV1 - generally is oral (for explanation purposes, A), more common, less agressive.
HSV-2 - generally groin (B)
BUT!!
if one comes in contact with the other:
like Girl (or boy) with HSV-1 which is herpes of the mouth (a) goes down on partner and has a cold sore, the start of a cold sore, and sometimes even just viral shedding (where the virus is present with no sores) the chances of the uninfected partner are high
or if Boy (or girl) has HSV-2 and is given head by their partner unprotected, again their partner could become infected with HSV-2 in the mouth.
If you kiss a person with active sores there s agood chance you will become infected, and same as if you have sex with someone who has sores (sometimes viral shedding as well) that person will become infected.
the two strains have different genetic makeups, and can be in either place.
Genital Herpes Vs. Oral Herpes: What’s What of Each
In today's age, everyone has heard of herpes. There are two common types among ten variations of this disease:
· Genital herpes
· Oral herpes
While the seriousness of both is different in society, the outbreak and the fact that both are so common make them very close family.
Similarities
There are many similarities to both types.
· Both are contagious and can spread as easily as a common cold
· Both can be spread to any surface and can lay dormant on towels or sheets
· Both have the ability to migrate to parts of the body where they are not supposed to go
· The virus that causes both look identical under a microscope
· Both types infect mucuosal areas of the body such as the genitals and the mouth
· You can have either type and not know you have herpes
· Both genital herpes and oral herpes travel along the nerves so oral herpes can break out anywhere along the face while genital herpes can appear anywhere in the upper area of the legs
· There is no cure to completely rid yourself of either form of herpes
Differences
Here are the differences.
· Oral herpes, unlike genital herpes is a skin rash, or cold sore contracted by about 80% of adults from when they were children
· HSV-1 (oral herpes) likes to settle in a group of merve cells by the ears and when there is an outbreak the virus has traveled to the area around the mouth
· HSV-2 (genital herpes) likes to establish itself at the base of the spine and when this breaks out it has traveled to the genital region
· The social stigma of oral herpes is the opposite to genital herpes
· The treatments to each are different and must be treated differently
Testing
Although testing for both genital herpes and oral herpes is grouped under testing for STD's, the testing for herpes is not automatic with STD tests. Always ask your doctor about the following when being treated for STD
· Know what you are being tested for
· Know what you are not being tested for
· Know what you can be tested for
Both genital herpes and oral herpes are very common and cause more embarrassment than pain. If there is one outbreak, there will be others. Once you have an outbreak of either form, consult your doctor about treatment options and be sure to inform those closest to you so it does not spread.
