Can you get reinfected from someone who has severe case of HSV1/HSV2?

If you have HSV1 already but rarely get symptoms, your partner (you find out later) gets many OB severe/has a bad problem, can she/he reinfect you?

I had 1 o 2 cold sores before an ex, a year after I ended it, I got 3 or 4 OB.

You can't contract something that you already have.

No, that's not how herpes works.

That's just a coincidence and has nothing to do with your partner's herpes.

Hope this helps,

      Hi @Anxious 1234 Did you get diagnosis for this?

      Hi @WhatDidIDo2023, hopefully all is well with you and your significant other and are still together.   Did she develop any other symptoms after you mentioned her getting itchiness? Was it determined what you had was contagious? Most likely developed a fungal disease and caused her a yeast or uti

      Hi @Luna 01 I really feel it is worthwhile obtaining a proper Herpeselect test given the outcomes of the home panel test. Regardless, your current symptoms are almost certainly not related to herpes. Hopefully, your doctor can assist in resolving these.
