There seems to be conflicting information about this online, so I wanted to ask an expert. So many places tell you to date other HSV positive people, but data still seems inconsistent regarding transmission to different locations. Here's the question: If I have HSV type 1 genital and my boyfriend has HSV type 1 oral, can he get it in his genital area from me from vaginal intercourse (without an outbreak). Some sites say if you both have the same type of hsv, even if different locations, then antibodies will protect you from getting it in another location, but other sites says it can still be spread to different areas. Hence my confusion. Thank you for your time.
