Hsv 2 reinfection?
Hi, I have had hsv2 genital for about five years now. Me and my gf both had it. I got it from her way back when. My question is can I infect myself by giving her oral if she has a outbreak? My thinking is I should have sufficient antibodys from having it already to not infect myself again in a different location? If it matters it was only a short time ( 30 secs - a min ) to my knelodge I haven't given her oral while on a outbreak before.
Thank you very much. it's pretty much what I thought but to hear it from someone who knows more about it then I do makes me feel better. Thanks for the help!
No you cant reinfect yourself unless you are immunodeficient still not a bad idea to avoid contact with infected area with other parts of the body as it may cause irration and bacterial Complications and extremely small chance of transmission. You dont have to worry about this.
