Can hsv2 affect your mouth

Yes, HSV-2 (herpes simplex virus type 2) primarily causes genital herpes, but it can also infect the mouth, though this is less common. Oral HSV-2 infections can occur through oral-genital contact. Symptoms may include sores or lesions in the mouth or on the lips, similar to those caused by HSV-1, which is more commonly associated with oral herpes.
