Herpes is a viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). The virus can infect various parts of the body, but there are two main types of HSV: HSV-1 and HSV-2.

HSV-1 is typically responsible for oral herpes, which causes cold sores or fever blisters around the mouth and on the face. It can also cause genital herpes through oral-genital contact.

HSV-2 is primarily associated with genital herpes. It is transmitted thual contact, causing sores or blisters on or around the genitals and buttocks.

To determine what is affected by herpes, it depends on the type and location of the infection. HSV-1 infections primarily affect the mouth and facial area, while HSV-2 infections primarily affect the genital region. However, it is important to note that both types of HSV can infect either the oral or genital areas, as transmission can occur thual practices or oral contact.

If you suspect you have herpes or have any concerns about it, it is always best to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and guidance on treatment options.
