Both Partners Infected (hsv1) Can It Still Be Transmitted?
Posted: 10-18-05 19:25pm

If both partners in a relationship are both infected with hsv1, can they still pass it back and forth to each other?

Lets say... They have both gone through their innitial outbreak, and are doing fine. The female partner has another outbreak 6 months later, but the lesions are internal and not visible. Could she cause her male partner to have another outbreak if they have un-protected sex?

Somebody told me that once both partners have been infected, the only thing that can cause them to get another outbreak is if they were going to have another one naturally, but you can not re-infect each other. I need to know if this is true, anybody have any insight?

Thanks

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. I can't seem to find the answer to this question anywhere, the only thing most people have been able to tell me is they think so....

Hsv1 is herpes symplex 1. (cold sores in the mouth) can also be passed on to the genitals through oral sex

Thanks for the help. I'm surprised that there isn't really any conclusive answers about this around...
