People who already have hsv-1 infection are not at risk of getting it again, but they are still at risk of acquiring herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) genital infection (see below). The consistent and correct use of condoms can help to prevent the spread of genital herpes. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
