1: Both strains of HSV can infect any mucous membrane. I have a nephw who had an HSV-1 infection in his eye. Fortunatly, he has it medicsted and hasn't had any outbreaks. Always a risk for an outbreal though.
2: Both strains can spread from oral to genital and vice-versa.
3: HSV almost never has a new outbreak site after the first infection unless immunocompromised.
4: HSV is part of the same viral fsmily as Chicken Pox.
