A member asked:
Can you get hsv 1 genitally if you already have it orally? or are you immuned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hsv 1 and 2 are now common both orally and genitally. Once you have the virus, you will always have the virus and have the possibility of recurrent outbreaks. It is also possible to contract hsv2 even if you already have hsv1.
