HSV 1 is herpes simplex virus, type 1. It is responsible for the cold sores you get on your mouth, and most (older adults anyway) got it as kids from a kiss from Aunt Betsy (or whoever). It is lifelong, but outbreaks become less and less frequent the longer you have it. A lot of adults probably don't remember their first outbreak, and many don't even know they have it. Of those of us in the 40s-50s, 80-90% have this. For younger adults who grew up more aware and cautious of kissing with sores and sharing toys and drinks (kids put everything in their mouths!) it is more like 30-40% I think. See what a little education can do? It is great you are asking questions and educating yourself.
The frequent mention of genital herpes is because this is basically the same virus (a slightly different strand) as HSV type 2, which usually infects the genitals. HSV 1 is responsible for about 1/3 of all new genital herpes cases, from oral sex.
A good resource is a forum on racoon.com. You can find a lot of answers there.

I got identified with herpes virus (type 2) about 4 years back, when I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I understand loads of people say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl who has sores round her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/WCPnv everything changed.
Not only was I able to eliminate all remnants of the hsv from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This program provided the chance to be happy and experience real love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.

HSV1 is the Herpes Simplex Virus.
There are two Herpes Simplex Viruses
HSV1 and HSV2
HSV1 is most responsible for:
Orofacial herpes (cold sores)
Neonatal HSV (infection of newborns)
Herpetic dermatitis (rashes or inflamed skin)
Herpetic whitlow (finger infection usually at the base of a fingernail)
Herpetic keratitis (inflammation of the cornea)
Herpetic encephalitis (inflammation of the brain tissue)
Genital Herpes.
HSV2 is most responsible for:
Orofacial herpes (cold sores)
Neonatal HSV (infection of newborns)
Herpetic dermatitis (rashes or inflamed skin)
Herpetic whitlow (finger infection usually at the base of a fingernail)
Genital Herpes.
These two strains of HSV share 50% of DNA and are very closely related to each other.
The most serious of these conditions are neonatal herpes and herpetic encephalitis, both of which are relatively rare but can be deadly. The causes of herpetic encephalitis are not fully understood, but having oral herpes and/or genital herpes doesn’t seem to make you more or less likely to develop it.
Most people who have Herpes Viruses are completely asymptomatic, meaning they don't get outbreaks but still carry the virus and can still pass it on to others who are not already infected.

HSV 1 is more commonly known as Herpes Simplex Virus type 1.
Type 1 is oral and causes coldsores to appear on the mouth. Usually they look like red bumps and appear right on your lip line.
It's important to be careful and practice safe sex. To find out why, please visit Planned Parenthood for the lowdown:

Herpes labialis is an infection caused by the herpes simplex virus. It leads to the development of small and usually painful blisters on the skin of the lips, mouth, gums, or lip area. These blisters are commonly called cold sores or fever blisters.
Please see Google search for more details and images on Herpes labialis (Cold sores).
