Will Antibodies Protect him from Genital Herpes?
Dear Dr. Rob:
I got genital HSV-1 from my boyfriend who has oral HSV-1.
I will not elaborate how… My question is can I now infect
him with genital HSV-1? Or is it true that he has antibodies from
the oral HSV-1 that will protect him from genital infection?
Dr Rob’s Response:
Poster Who Asks about Antibodies:
If you both have Herpes type 1, whether contracted orally
or genitally, you are protected against Herpes 1 body
infections; that is not to mean you do not shed nor is to
mean that you should not use protection during sexual
activity, as more of the virus is not good.
