My daughter had a first outbreak and  was diagnosed with HV-1(genital) which she got from her boyfriend who also has HV1 (orally) but did not know he had it until her outbreak.  He had absolutely no symptoms at all but does remember having had cold sores some years back but did not think it was HV1 at the time.   My question is:

     1. Now that she has the same strand is there any potential that she can transmit to him genitally or him to her orally?

     2. Is it safe to say they each now have antibodies to it and they can no longer cause each other an outbreak (any subsequent outbreak would be from their own body  carrying the virus)

     3. If either of them get a reoccurrence will it return to the area where they had the initial outbreak (mouth for him genital for her) or could it return in a different area

Thanks for your help

Thank so much for the response Terri.  I have a couple of other questions

What is likelihood of another outbreak for her? I read genital HV-1 has a less likelihood of reoccurrence but I don't know how true that is.  

At this point is it safe to say that when they resume sexual activity it is not necessary for them to use condoms as each of them has the same virus and no other STD?

Thanks again.  We greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you so much again for the response.  I have a couple of other questions.

1. If my daughter were to enter into a new relationship what is the likelihood of her transmitting this to another person genitally or orally.  She knows she has a responsibility to share this with a new partner but she is even more concerned about her potentially infecting someone else.  She is being incredibly hard on herself right now and is really having a tough time dealing with this.

2. If her boyfriend were to enter into a new relationship what is the likelihood of him infecting someone else?  Can he transmit it to someone by kissing, sharing drinks utensils etc. or only by oral sex?

Thanks again for helping us through this process
