A member asked:
If you already get cold sores, can you get infected by hsv1 again orally?

No: Once you are infected you cannot get infected again. The eruption will come out if you are under stress, sick or get a lot of sun.

No: While there are different strains of hsv, once you have it, you would not notice that you were infected with a different hsv strain.
