hii dear
it can be
it is nothing like hsv 1 spread only through oral sex
it is viral pathology not sexually transmitted disease
herpes simplex occur due to close contact with herpes virus
it is either through genitalia or skin contact
so plz read more about herpes transmission in person to person
if it is positive than repeat again
if positive again than u must require treatment
thank u
