I was just wondering how can someone get ******* herpes and not oral herpes or both if they have sexual *********** and oral *** with a partner who is infected?
Herpes simplex 1 usually occurs in the mouth region and Simplex 2 around the ********. It all depends on where the virus is harbored, S1 tends to incubate near the ear and S2 around the lower spine, neither travel very far when the opportunity arises. You can get S1 on the ******** and S2 on the mouth from contact.
Different strains of the same virus. Kinda like there are a lot of different strains of the flue. That’s how you can still get the flue after you had a flue shot. It was a strain you didn’t get vaccinated for.
