HSV-1, while possible to spread during sexual contact, is not limited to spread during sexual contact and is not considered an STD. The vast majority of the world has contracted the virus. Many of the people who have it have never had an outbreak of oral sores.

I had my first outbreak shortly after high school (prior to being sexually active) and generally get them concurret with other illnesses but they have gotten less and less severe over time to the point that they are barely noticeable now.
