DocYael,
“Nisht, there has been enough ‘crossover’ in recent years that HSV types 1 and 2 are no longer specific to one area of the body”
Regardless of whether HSV can cause oral lesions, HSV 1 is really the concern that everyone is concerned with because it is the common cold sore and is very common.
It is highly unlikely that a Mohel has HSV 2. Such claims are generally offered by the rabid anti-milah crowd who like to portray MbP as a “filthy” act by associating it with HSV 2 and the connotations associated thereto.
In case you think I making this up, Just today I saw a commenter (somewhere else) make such accusations, and lo and behold on his web page he was proudly displaying swastikas.
I am not sayong everyone who is against MbP is a Nazi, but those who cast MbP in a light of “abuse” (using loshon nekiyah) are without doubt rabid anti-semites.
