Thanks for writing in.
Yes it is quite possible that you are getting Mollaret’s due to cold sores from oyur boyfriend. Cold sores are caused by HSV 1 and 2. This virus spreads by direct contact or through bodily fluids.
HSV can also cause aseptic meningitis like Mollaret’s. I would suggest you to share this concern with your boyfriend and then both of you can discuss this issue with your treating doctor.
Hope this helps!
