No, it is possible to have both types in one location. I have, however, seen a few episodes of mistyping of the virus. I would recommend the following: ask the new partner to get an antibody test to see if they are HSV 2 positive. If they are not, then it may well be an erroneously typed sample. It seems unusual to me that your first outbreak would be on the buttocks, really. Of course you will want to repeat an antibody test, regardless of the result of your partner’s testing. If you actually do have HSV 2, you would only shed from the genital area. The buttocks area skin is too thick and does not shed virus without sores present.
Consensus? I’m not sure what you mean.
