does it look the same herpes 2 y herpes 1 in the mouth?

Q: I would like to know if herpes 1 and 2 looks the same in the mouth and how often are the outbreak in the mouth in both of them?

A: Yes, both look exactly the same, but on average hsv-2 hardly causes any outbreaks in the mouth, maybe only the primary one, while hsv-1 is ‘at home’ on the mouth and causes, on average, several outbreaks a year. However how your body responds to the virus is individual and it can be many more or less. For example I have hsv-1 genitally, which ‘on average’ causes only one outbreak every 2 years, with 50% of people never having a second outbreak. I average about 6-8 outbreaks a year. It is believed about 95% of oral herpes is hsv-1, with 5% being hsv-2. However since people don’t usually get swab tests for oral herpes, unlike genital herpes, this is an estimate.
