You have genital HSV-1. Can you give your partner a genital HSV-1 with genital sex?
Yep. But not as easily as it istransmitted through oral sex. Remember. The mouth is the preferred site for HSV-1 infection and the virus sheds less often outside its site of preference. A study in 1995 shows that about 25% of people with asumptomatic genital HSV-1 shed virus vs.55% of people with genital HSV-2.
