So there is A,B,C,D(kinda a subtype of B), and E. A and E are fecal oral transmissions while B,C,D are transmitted through bodily fluids. There are subtypes that are mostly regional but that covers the big ones.

Thank you. I’d never heard of a fecal kind but I hope it’s taught in schools these days, as it could certainly be as problematic as the others but not as obvious a means of transmission. Same can be said about the oral kind. No, I just read up on them. Herpes A and E are usually found in developing nations without the ability to washing hands.
