How can one develop herpes type 1 on genitals when never recieved oral sex?

Answer 1

I personally have genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus 1.

This can happen from a person receiving oral sex in a previous relationship and then having sex with another person later.

I contracted genital herpes from a guy I had sex with, who I believe received oral sex by girl who had cold sores. If a person has cold sores and gives another person oral sex, it can cause that person to get genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus 1. That person can then have sex with another person which would spread the virus.

Yes, there isn't any. Herpes is caused by a virus. Actually, there is little cure for viruses nowadays. The only thing that you can generally do in the case of a viral infection is strengthen the immune system and hope it fights it off. Not with Herpes, the immune system can't win against it. Thus you only get to treat the symptoms. Once you're infected, it stays with you for life. So don't get infected.

Personal experience. I have had genital herpes for over 5 years.

Answer 4

The 2 species of herpes commonly associated with "oral and genital herpes", arent limited to just those areas of the body. It is a misnomer to consider HSV1 as oral and HSV 2 as genital. Either species can infect any dermal region of the body and even other membranes inside the body. If you happen to be infected with HSV-1 genitally, then its genital HSV-1. Genital HSV-1 typically goes undiagnosed in many people as it is often mistaken as other conditions like ingrown hairs or razor burn. Symptoms may be so mild to completely asymptomatic in most individuals that most people never know they have it-- especially if the person had a prior oral HSV-1 infection. The viruses of genus simplexvirus arent STDs per se; rather they are transmitted by any direct skin to skin contact. The skin normally provides adequate defence to viral entry as opposed to the more vulnerable membranes around the mouth and genitals. Moreover, most personal and/or intimate contact occurs in these regions hence the geographic terminology often associated with the viruses.

So to answer your question, Yes. Any infected membrane actively shedding virions that contact vulnerable unifected membranes carries the chance of transmission.
