I got genital herpes type 1( just got over my first outbreak ) that my husband gave me ( has oral herpes type 1 ) , Can he get genital herpes type 1 from me if we don't use any kind of protection and don't have any intercourse
together since many years so was hard to believe after so many years that I ended up with genital herpes type 1 ,we never used any kind of protection and not really planning to do so but just wondering I don't want him to suffer like I did
. So yes, it can happen years later. But the good news is, you probably will have very few outbreaks (1 or 2 the first year, then maybe one every other year after that).
