hsvquestions

Thanks WCSDancer2010, I appreciate the help!

Hi Adrial, Yes, I have looked over those two sheets and while they were both very enlightening they still do not answer my question. I see the rates of viral shedding for both types, % of ppl that have each and % of ppl that don't know, and the transmission rates of HSV-2. But what I would like to know specifically is if I have oral HSV-1: 1. What is the transmission rate for transmitting it to someone's mouth? 2. What is the transmission rate for transmitting it to someone's genitals?

Thank you. I have looked there but I cannot find specific transmission rates for HSV-1. Mostly it just the % of people that have it and transmission rates for HSV-2. If anyone knows the answer to transmission rates for HSV-1 I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

Hello, I have seen a lot of information lately but cannot find anything about the transmission rate of oral HSV-1 from kissing, and also from oral sex to a non-H partner? I understand that transmission from oral sex is more common than that from genital HSV-2 but I would like to know the actual rate. Do you know what these statistics are or where I can find this information? Thanks!
