HSV 1 is the virus that causes oral herpes which is what causes cold sores and fever blisters on the mouth.
HSV2 causes genital herpes, usually located on the genitals, inner thighs, buttocks or anus.
But HSV1 can affect the genitals. If some one with a visible cold sore gives their partner oral sex they could pass cold sores to their partners genitals.
Also HSV2 can affect the mouth. If some one gives their partner oral sex around the time they have a break out of herpes then they could pass genital herpes to their partners mouth.
