Your HSV is likely only oral. There is no reason to think you have this in both locations without lesions that are swab test positive for HSV 1
I have read that GHSV has a 5 percent shedding and OHSV has 25 percent. Does daily antivirals decrease this? How much do you know?
People with very frequently recurring cold sores shed virus on about 25% of days Antivirals decrease this yes.
