I don't there really is a differece. I think it's all herpes. There are various strains (Cold sore strain vs. std strain). Are you thinking what is the difference between herpes and genital warts?

Herpes Simplex A is the herpes virus that causes cold sores (like you get on your lips).
My doctor told me that most people carry this virus.
Genital Herpes appear on your genitals - hence the name. I don't know how many people have this.
These are NOT the exact same virus.
Herpes Zoster is chickenpox - all herpes viruses stay in the body and sometimes many years later the Herpes Zoster causes "shingles" a painful blister outbreak.
Thats about the extent of my Herpes knowledge. Hope it helps
