		The difference is that herpes simplex 1 is generally what causes the oral lesions, and the lip lesions, where herpes 2 -- HSV-2 -- is generally the one that causes genital lesions.
		We see that herpes simplex 1 more likely infects the mouth, and when it does it has more frequent outbreaks than when it infects the genital area, and vice versa for herpes simplex 2, but there is a great overlap and each can infect the sites that they're theoretically not supposed to infect.
		Herpes can certainly be spread if someone has an open lesion in their mouth or is asymptomatically shedding herpes in their mouth at that particular time.
