A member asked:

I do not recall getting cold sores on my face. can having hsv1 on the genitals make me more or less immune to cold sores on my face from hsv1?

Possible:: If not totally immune, then certainly at least partly protected.

More likely: Having the hsv1 makes you susceptible to outbreaks over several parts of the body.
