Yes. Strains of the Herpes Simplex virus cause genital Herpes and also "cold sores" and "fever blisters".
There are two common strains of Herpes Simplex virus HSV-2 and HSV-1. A page on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) web site gives the following additional information:
HSV-1 and HSV-2 can be found in and released from the sores that the viruses cause, but they also are released between outbreaks from skin that does not appear to have a sore. Generally, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore and may not know that he or she is infected.
HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips, so-called "fever blisters." HSV-1 infection of the genitals can be caused by oral-genital or genital-genital contact with a person who has HSV-1 infection. Genital HSV-1 outbreaks recur less regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks. See also related links below for the CDC web site.
