Yes you can transmit hsv1 from genitals to genitals but it's a lowered risk of doing so.

You don't really get a lot of bang for your buck with suppressive therapy for hsv1 genitally but it's a personal choice. Hsv1 genitally doesn't reoccur very often and doesn't shed very often. if your partner has hsv1 orally, it's not likely they'll contract hsv1 genitally though it can happen.

We don't have infection percentages as the years go by to give you.  

Be sure to read the herpes handbook at www.westoverheights.com for more info on herpes.
