I have HSV-1, but my reaction showed up on my genitalia. So, for PS purposes, I have HSV-1 G, correct?

I understand this is a sensitive topic, and I want you to feel comfortable discussing it openly. For PositiveSingles.com purposes, if you have oral herpes (HSV-1) that has caused genital symptoms, it would be classified as HSV-1 Genital or HSV-1G on the site. However, it's always best to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and to discuss your specific situation.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is commonly associated with oral herpes, but it can also cause genital herpes through oral-to-genital contact. The location of the outbreak does not change the virus type. What's important is being honest about your condition on the site to find understanding partners.

I encourage you to reach out to the PositiveSingles support team if you need any assistance with your profile or have other questions about using the platform. They are there to provide a supportive environment for members. Please don't hesitate to also discuss any medical concerns with your doctor for proper guidance. I'm here if you need any further explanations in a friendly, non-judgmental manner.
