A member asked:
When infected with the cmv virus, how can you know if your outbreak is from a primary or a recurring infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immune system: If you have an intact immune system, you will only get ill once. If you don't, hopefully your physician tested for CMV when they noted your status.
