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 http://www.healthcentral.com/genital-herpes/c/24250/29568/spreading-1
