The virus does not travel around the body. There have been cases where people have contracted it in odd places. The virus stays in the nerve ganglia it was contracted in.

Really becouse I hav had little blister types on my hip , but now hav on my back and two on the arm ,! And I know if I show a gp they will say something like is a pimple
I'm thinking becouse the skin is harder on the back and arm they don't turn into blisters ! Other then like the genital area ?
Thanks for getting back to me !! Hey do u think that herps can also just look like pimples that's why so meany people don't no if there herps or not , and hav to go to the trouble of getting swobs and blood tests , if there so easy to be detected just by a doctor or health care people why do we need a test !!
