Confused about HSV-1
I just got diagnosed with GHSV-1 but am really confused about how it works. I had my first outbreak only in the genitals.
So since it was likely contracted through receiving oral in the genitals, isn't it also possible that I may also have it orally because I also kissed my partner during this same occurrence? Why would it transfer to the genitals but not to the mouth if each action happened within seconds of each other?
Everything I see online (and even my doctor) is saying that it is very unlikely that I have it in both locations, but it feels naive to me to assume that I only got it in one location because it showed a physical outbreak. Another thing throwing me off is that the virus doesnt typically show symptoms in more than 1 location at once, so what if I'm actually positive on both ends but one end was just more sensitive?
This is causing me stress as I worry about accidentally infecting others through kissing and such
