yes. a person can have or contract both herpes simplex (cold sore on the lips) and have genital herpes (type 2) caused by sexual contact.
can you get oral herpes by kissing someone who has it if you already have genital herpes? . my boyfriend got a cold sore an hour after we had sex. i already have hsv2 but never had oral herpes - can i get genital hsv1 or oral hsv1 by kissing him? thank you.
