Sometimes. HSV type 1 can be spread by sex, or by casual skin-to-skin contact. It can infect any part of the body, including the mouth, nose, eyes, genitals, and buttocks.
Genital herpes is sexually transmitted, and can be caused by HSV type 1 or Type 2. Having HSV1 on the mouth isn't considered to be an std. It's rarely passed to the mouth from having intercourse or oral sex. It's often passed during child hood by being innocently kissed by some one that has it.
Yes, herpes is an STD that is primarily transmitted through the oral and genital area.
HSV-1 is not a STD.
