There are 2 main types of herpes viruses, HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 usually causes "cold sores" or "fever blisters" around the mouth, and is not necessarily sexually transmitted. HSV-2 usually cause sores on the genitals and is sexually transmitted. However, it is quite possible to contract HSV-1 on the genitals, or HSV-2 on the mouth (through oral sex). In fact, any type of sexual contact, whether it's vaginal intercourse, anal sex, touching the genitals, or oral sex, can transmit the herpes virus.
