    Hi,

    There are two types of herpes virus - I and II. Herpes I usually affects the oral areas and the herpes II generally infects the genital areas. But sometimes HSV I can infect the genital and the HSV II can infect the mouth and oral cavity. This is quite uncommon.

    You need a blood test to determine which of the viruses you have - HSV I or HSV II
