Hi,

I was diagnosed with HSV-1 in my anal area. Can I spread HSV-1 to my partner from regular and/or oral sex. Does the person need to come in contact with a sore/lession from the anal area or can they get from touching any part of my genital area?

I am concerned and have not had sex in 5 months because I am afraid of spreading this virus

Please let me know what is what?

Thanks
