Can you have GHSV OB and OHSV with no OB?

[Brownly]

I haven't been diagnosed yet but I'm certain I have GHSV. Is it possible to have OHSV with no symptoms or OB along with having genital OB? Can you have OB on both oral and genital areas or does the OB only happen where it started first?

Yes, it’s definitely possible to have both. I get both oral and genital herpes outbreaks. But you’ve got to be exposed in both locations for you to get outbreaks or viral shedding in both locations.

With your last response, at this point I’m only certain that I have GHSV. I know I got this from my boyfriend of 1 year as he gets cold sores. Now that I have GHSV and he has OHSV, should I still be concerned with possibly getting OHSV too? I’m asking since we both already have it.
