kindly help me clear my thoughts. :(
most folks who have hsv1, have it orally. Only about 20-40% of folks with hsv1 orally, get obvious cold sores to know that they have it. since hsv1 orally sheds more than hsv1 genitally does anyways, assuming it's oral when you haven't had any obvious symptoms orally or genitally isn't a bad idea.
http://www.ashastd.org/std-sti-works/Herpes/oral-herpes.html has terrific info on oral herpes for more reading.

so what you're telling me if i don't have any obvious symptoms i will shed less?
