Best way to answer your question is submitting this website Genital Herpes: Infection and Transmission (http://www.webmd.com/genital-herpes/guide/genital-herpes-basics)
Which are the basics in herpes transmission.
If you don't get through the whole article, here is your basic answer
HSV-1 is usually passed from person to person by kissing. HSV-1 can also spread from the mouth to the genitals during oral sex (fellatio, cunnilingus, analingus). If this happens, it becomes a case of genital herpes.
If you are wondering what the difference is between l and 2, here is the answer for that:
There are 2 types of sexually transmitted herpes: herpes type 1 and herpes type 2. Both types cause painful cold sores. It used to be that we (doctors and researchers) thought of herpes 1 as primarily infecting the mouth (“above the belt”) and herpes 2 as primarily infecting the genitals (“below the belt”), but we know now that is just not the case. Fifty percent of new cases of genital herpes are actually herpes type 1.
