Herpes simplex I & II

Hi guys, quick question about my favorite topic and yours, Herpes.
So I obviously have simplex I because I get cold sores once in a blue moon. I had one a while ago and my boyfriend was very uncomfortable with the idea of getting it from me. I know I can transmit it to him by kissing and by oral sex, but would he get the sores on his genitals? Some people have said it travels to where people most often get them, but if you can get them in your nose and stuff...can't you get simplex I sores on your genitals? Or is that strictly limited to simplex II? I'm so very perplexed. Thanks gals (and guys)!

http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=Herpes_%28HSV-1/HSV-2%29 is a link to the vulvapedia entry on herpes; i think it answers all of your questions. http://www.ashastd.org/herpes/herpes_overview.cfm is also a great site to check out anything STI related.
