Can I get Herpes Simplex Type-1 in two locations?
I have herpes simplex 1 in the genital area. My son’s father passed it to me through oral sex, with no cold sore present or signs. I am in a relationship with a man now that doesn’t have herpes at all, how safe is it to receive oral sex from him, for him? Can he get my herpes genitally and then give it to me, when I perform oral sex? Or would I already have an antibody and can’t get herpes simplex 1 in two locations? I need help!!! - Anon
How do you know that this new guy doesn’t have herpes? Was he recently tested specifically for herpes? Did he tell you that he doesn’t have herpes because as far as I know herpes isn’t included in the routine STD testing process.
My suggestion to you would be to make a date with your new man to go in and get tested together for everything. Make a list of what you expect the clinic to test you for and then ask them what their plans are.
So many people assume when they get STD testing that they are being tested for everything and that is just NOT the case.
I have always heard that contracting Oral Herpes Type-1 from somebody that has Genital Herpes Type-1 via oral sex is not all that likely to happen. I’ve also heard that having both genital herpes type-1 and oral herpes type-1 is not all that common even though it is possible.
I think what it’s going to boil down to is deciding together as a couple how you wish to proceed in the bedroom. It’s clearly a personal choice but first it’s important to rule out what your STD status is together as a couple.
As far as passing herpes back and forth, it’s just not going to happen. Once you contract HSV-1, HSV-2 or both - you can’t contract it again. So that wouldn’t be passing it back and forth.
