HSV1 and then HSV2?
I've had HSV1 genitally for 20 years. I do have outbreaks on a regular basis. I am male and received oral with a condom from a female in Thailand. She also kissed me. About a week later I had a red spot and had a typical herpes outbreak in my pubic hair area. Also had several red spots on the inside of my top lip that looked liked herpes. Could this be an HSV2 infection? What are chances of HSV2 transmission to mouth and genitals? Or can you get reinfected by HSV1 and have an outbreak from this infection?
Herpes is not inside the lip. Those sound like cancer sores.

Canker sores can be caused by a viral infection so looks like it does point to possible HSV2 infection
Is there any other advice? Is the primary site in the pubic hair area common or possible in men?
