>>10860Virgins can have Herpes Simplex virus type 1, which causes mouth lips sores, but it's still not clear if only Herpes Simplex type 2 causes genital problems.
Is it possible for HSV-1 to cause genital herpes?
Yes. Oral herpes caused by HSV-1 can spread from the mouth to the genitals through oral sex. This is why some cases of genital herpes are due to HSV-1.
So basically saliva, kisses, and mouth on genitals you risk transmitting and receiving HSV-1, while genitals on genitals contact is about HSV-2.
So the only 100% safe way to not catch either is to avoid kisses on the mouth, shared saliva, and only hands on genitals. Without any little cuts on the skin.
