» christine2 - cold sores transferring into genital herpes

In response to cold sores transferring into genital herpes posted by help99:


Blood test can detect the type of the virus, HSV-1 or HSV-2. However, it won't tell you if the infection is oral or genital. So if you gave him HSV-1 though oral sex and he did not develop the symptoms, the test will detect the presence of infection and the type, but not the location.
