Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
I have read your query and understand the concern.
Herpes is a disease caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
There are two types.
Type 1 (HSV-1) usually causes oral herpes (infection of the lips and mouth).
Type 2 (HSV-2) genital herpes is caused by the second type of herpes virus.
Yes,herpes virus may live in saliva of the person.
HSV-1 is usually transmitted from person to person by kissing.
HSV-1 can also spread from the mouth to the genitals during oral sex. If this happens, it becomes a case of genital herpes.
HSV-2 is most often passed by vaginal sex and anal sex.
HSV-2 can pass from one person's genitals to another person's mouth, resulting in oral herpes.
Hope this answer was helpful.
