A member asked:
My partner and i have oral hsv 1. what is the probability one could get genital hsv 1 if we refrain from oral contact during an outbreak?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Very slim: Usually oral hsvi is not shed if not having an outbreak so do not worry if you refrain form oral contact until the lesions are completely healed.

Minimal risk.: Your risk should be minimal as you and your partner will have a protective antibody to HSV 1. You will be protected from additional infection by virtue of the antibodies you already have.

Should not happen: Once you have one type of herpes, you can't get that same type again.
