    To answer the question, important to know the strain HSV 1 or HSV 2 ?

    Hsv1 'travels' around the body easier... But has low viral shedding from the genital area... High shedding if mouth area is infected. The time most likely to spreAd from a persons genitals to the same persons mouth is during initial outbreak before antibodies are strong.

    Hsv2 is only found away from the genitals 2% of time.

      Hsv1 or 2? Technically, both can be spread, but sounds like1 is more likely to spread genital to oral
