A member asked:
If partner has oral herpes type1 and lubricated his genitals with his saliva can i get the virus? and then we proceeded to have unprotected sex. i have oral herpes 1 as well and 2 weeks ago i had my very first outbreak
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only temporarily: A woman who already had Herpes 1 a while back, will already have antibodies that stop Herpes 1 viruses. If that saliva-coated penis transferred Herpes 1 viruses into her vagina, she has the viruses temporarily... but only until her antibodies zap them. Thus, if her immune system is working well, her antibodies should prevent new Herpes 1 viruses from taking root on or in her genitals.
