Can we kiss and have sex?

[sweetlove884]

So, I have had fever blisters for many years.  I always thought I could only transmit the virus when a sore was present. I hadn't had one in months and it never occurred to me to tell my partner. Oh, my ignorance. 

I gave him oral sex and about a week later developed a fever blister. A week after that he had a genital outbreak. 

If we have sex, could I start getting genital outbreaks (which I've never had?)

And if we kiss, could he begin getting oral outbreaks?

If you have unprotected sex then yea you can get type 1 genital herpes

This virus can still be spread even though it has no sore. Because he is contracted with genital HSV1, unprotected vaginal or anal sex can put you at risk of getting this virus. Kissing is , too. Things you need are to

- boost the immune system by lysine rich foods

- take lysine or bulletproof+ supplement

- abstain from sex if having some early signs of herpes outbreaks

- always perform protected sex

- Avoid stress or other triggers to reduce which can activate the virus 

- receive treatments: take Acyclovir, Valacyclovir medications, apply some topical creams like Prosurx or Abreva. You can ask your doctor for suppressive therapy in case you suffer more than 6 outbreaks a year

Hope these can be useful for you and your partner

You can't catch the same disease twice. A lot of people are confused about that. I have HSV1 downtown. My hubby has HSV1 uptown. We can't give it to each other in the other parts of the body because our bodies have created antibodies.

Just to also qualify my statement earlier:

-You can still catch the other strain

-You can have an OB on multiple sites, that usually happens at the time of contracting the disease (you have contracted at multiple sites), rather than a secondary infection at another site
