Reply To: Question on HSV1

[Devastated5]

Thank you. Have you ever seen an example where after my situation with a huge oral breakout, HSV1 only be oral or typically do you see both places infected after being with a husband with OHSV1 for years giving unprotected oral sex with no breakouts? (I’m so upset by this. I never even thought about it being an issue as I thought it doesn’t spread if not visible.)

Can OHSV1 also be on the face, chin & lip area?

Can HSV1 spread to someone kissing your body or just spread through saliva?

Do people disclose OHSV1 before kissing?

If I haven’t had a breakout on my lips in 8 years, what is percent chance of transmitting by kissing?

Last, what amount of antiviral do you recommend to reduce chances here?

Thanks for your help.
