Contracting Genital Herpes
I have cold sores, despite not having symptoms of an outbreak at the time, I gave my girlfriend genital herpes by fingering her and using my saliva as lubricant. If I were to have sex with her when she was showing symptoms. Is it possible for me to also get genital herpes, or is it impossible because I already have the HSV-1 virus?
