1) What are the differences between Herpes 1 and Herpes 2? 2) How is each spread? 3) Can a woman with genital herpes give it to a man by giving a blow job? 4) Can a man with genital herpes give it to a woman by eating her out? 5) If somebody has finger herpes or eye herpes, can that be spread by regular sex or oral sex? 6) How are finger and eye herpes spread? 7) Can genital herpes be spread if one has cuts on their testicles?
1) HSV 1 prefers to live on/near the mouth, and HSV 2 prefers to live on the genitals. You can still get HSV 1 on the genitals and HSV 2 on the mouth. Most people have herpes (usually HSV 1), and can asymptomatic their entire lives. 2) Both types are spread through direct contact. You can be infected even if there are no sores present. 3 & 4) If there is genital contact, yes. If they have oral herpes, yes. If no to both, then maybe. Not sure about that one. I'm not as familiar with herpes presenting on other parts of the body, but I presume any direct contact poses a risk. Herpes is an annoying, sometimes painful STI but it is not typically dangerous. For the record, I am not an expert and would recommend discussing this with your doctor.
