Contracting HSV-2 when you already have both oral (HSV-1) and genital (HSV-1) herpes may not necessarily make the symptoms worse. However, having multiple types of herpes viruses can increase the risk of outbreaks or shedding in different areas.

It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on managing your specific situation. They can provide guidance on reducing transmission risks and optimizing treatment options based on your unique medical history.
