GHSV 1

[sleeplessworried]

1.
Can the severity of a primary outbreak tell u which type you have like if it is only one sore and really not a bother does that imply type 1?

2.
Also can type 1 genitally show up once and never outbreak again?

3.Is the first year the worst?

4. if fist oubreak was only one sore can u expect a recurrent outbreak to be even less severe?

I heard that type 1 doesn't like the genitals so it may nver outbreak after the first episode is that true?


Thank you in advance

Did you check out the handbook yet? this is all discussed in there in more details.

about 1/2 of folks who have hsv1 genitally never get another ob. Of those who do, the average is 1 additional ob the first year and then 1 ob every other year after that.
