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.

Yes, HSV-2 (herpes simplex virus type 2) can potentially cause prostatitis, although it is not a common cause.

In some cases, reactivation of the virus can lead to symptoms affecting the prostate. However, more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between HSV-2 and prostatitis.

How do i have hsv 1 and 2 and my partner only have hsv 2?

Nowadays HSV has become a lot of problems but most people don’t know what is HSB, how does it works, what problems caused? It’s very dangerous to all men and women and most likely for the young. I have suffered from it but I don’t want anyone to suffer like me. What is HSV? Herpes is one of the most widely recognized virals explicitly sent conditions in the United States. Truth be told, as per the CDC, in youngsters alone, one in every six individuals has genital herpes, and the WHO reports that around 66% of all grown-ups under age 50 have HSV-1 alone. That is more than three billion individuals with either HSV-1 or HSV-2 preceding they are mature enough to gather benefits! Herpes Simplex or HSV is the name given to the infections brought about by both of the two herpes infections - HSV 1 and HSV 2. The most widely recognized misinterpretation that exists is that Herpes simplex is just an explicitly sent sickness. This is just somewhat obvious as herpes can influence any piece of the body and most usually influences the mouth and the privates. HSV is characterized by groups of little water rankles or sores. Both HSV 1 and 2 can contaminate anybody through contact including and particularly when body liquids are traded through kissing, contacting or sex.
