Types of herpes The herpes family of viruses includes 8 different viruses that affect human beings; I have listed them below for your information. However we are only actually interested in HHV1 (HSV1) & HHV2 (HSV2). Put simply: herpes type 1 causes sores around the mouth and lips (sometimes called fever blisters or cold sores). HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but most cases of genital herpes are caused by herpes type 2. In HSV-2, the infected person may have sores around the genitals or rectum. Although HSV-2 sores may occur in other locations, these sores usually are found below the waist.
