In contrast, hsv igg antibodies do not show up until slightly later after initial infection. A positive herpes igg test, if the test result is accurate, means that your body has been infected with the herpes simplex virus. Hsv-1 usually infects the mouth, causing oral herpes, and hsv-2 usually infects the genitals.

Hello-
hsv2 (herpes simplex virus 2) is typically passed along from one person to another through vaginal or anal intercourse. It is less common to transmit hsv2 through oral sex.
However, as the mouth is lined with mucous membranes, it is still possible to transmit the hsv2 virus through oral sex. If a person is infected with hsv2 in the genital area and the virus comes into contact with mucous membranes in another person's mouth, it may enter the nervous system and cause oral herpes.

Dear user. Thanks for the question. Hiv spread through contact between broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes and hiv-infected blood or blood-contaminated body fluids. Deep, open-mouth kissing if both partners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the hiv-positive partner gets into the bloodstream of the hiv-negative partner. Hiv can not spread through saliva. Take care.
