Sooo I feel incredibly dumb for asking, but I haven't been able to satisfy my curiosity. Niw obviously oral herpes of the mouth and genital of the genitals.

I know it's possible to spread it in both directions via oral sex. My question is more of the virus cell itself.

For example if someone with genital herpes receives oral sex and spreads the virus to someone else. Is that new infection the same under a microscope?

If someone looked under a microscope at a single viron from someone who received herpes through oral vs from the genitals they received it from, would there be a perciveable difference? Is there a difference in these viruses if you looked at a oral vs genital infection under a microscope? Or are they both the exact same and it's only defined by where it's at on the body?
