Not much you can do. Type 1 is what causes "cold sores". It's not dangerous. These days though, doctors don't usually differentiate between type 1 and type 2 because either type can show up in the genitals or mouth.

It will come and go and you might never have another outbreak in your life even though you can still be contagious. That's the thing about The Herpes, you may never know how you got it. Oral sex can transmit it to the nether regions. If a young lady with a cold sore gave you oral sex, you could have that on your genitals. I know a young lady who has a nasty case of Type 2 in her mouth because of oral sex.

So overall, you can have a completely normal life as long as you take precautions and are honest with your sexual partners.
