Herpes - Worse version?

I have genital herpes. Is it possible to get a WORSE version of genital herpes if I have unprotected sex with a female that has genital herpes? I would appreciate an answer from medical professionals

there's no such thing as a "worse" infection. Though there are different types of hsv2, outside of the lab, they make no difference. It's actually thought that the severity of your infection has to do with your gene's and some chronic inflammatory markers in the body more than the type. One more thing to either thank mom and dad for or to blame them for ;)
